Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu Tries Millet Idlis In Visakhapatnam

Idli is a South Indian staple that has become a breakfast favourite. Not only is it extremely healthy and delicious, the dish is also ready in a jiffy. Simply take the usual rice batter and steam it in the usual moulds for a couple of minutes to prepare soft and fluffy Idlis that can be paired with chutney, Sambhar or even had as is. There are so many variations and versions of the Idli – from Oats Idli to Rava Idli and more. Indian Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu recently took to Twitter to share his experience of trying Millet Idlis – a healthy version of Idli he highly recommended. Take a look at his tweet:

A few pictures of the Idlis were also shared in the tweet. The yummy millet idlis were steamed in banana leaves and paired with two different kinds of coconut chutney.

Indian VP M.
