Podi Idli recipe is a yummy and simple dish made with the two main ingredients, idli and idli millagai podi, that is easily available in our kitchen. If you have fussy kids at home, who hate to eat idli’s, then this recipe is a sure treat for them. We can deviate from this recipe by adjusting the spices and make it healthy by adding more vegetables. Also, we have the utmost satisfaction and happiness by making our kids eat idlis and veggies in one go. This is an easy kid lunch box recipe and it worked out a lot at my home with my kids also.
