READY-MADE IDLI BATTER? DON’T USE IT ALONE! 👀”
“Just 1 small tweak = a better breakfast ❤️I don’t have time to make everything from scratch…”
If this sounds like you, this little kitchen hack is for YOU! ❤️
I know we all have those busy mornings when the easiest option is to reach for ready-made idli/dosa batter.
And honestly, there’s nothing wrong with that.
But I like to give my everyday foods a small nutritional upgrade. 😉
So this time, I simply took:
🥣 1 cup ready-made idli/dosa batter
🌱 1 cup soaked moong dal paste
That’s it! Equal quantities.
method
Soak yellow moong dal for 8 hours → drain → grind into a smooth paste → mix equal quantities of moong dal paste and ready-made batter.
If you have forgotten to soak at night even in the morning soak for half an hour .
Add a little salt according to taste
Then make soft idlis or delicious dosas just the way you normally would.
And my favourite part?
👉 Eat it with a bowl of sambar + chutney. ❤️
Why do I love this simple tweak?
✨ Adds more protein to your breakfast
✨ Makes the meal more filling
✨ Gives your regular batter a nutritional boost
✨ Helps create a more balanced breakfast
✨ And most importantly — it is practical!
Because I don’t believe healthy eating should mean spending hours in the kitchen.
Sometimes, one small change to the food you already eat can make a meaningful difference.
So before you say “healthy food takes too much time…”
Try this instead. 😉
SAVE this reel 🔖 because you WILL forget the recipe! 😄
And SHARE it with someone who loves idli & dosa but wants a smarter breakfast.
