Idly is a popular South Indian breakfast dish made from fermented rice and urad dal batter, which is steamed and served with chutney and sambar. While traditional idly is a nutritious and healthy breakfast option, it may not be suitable for people with gluten intolerance or those looking to reduce their carb intake. That’s where Jowar Idly comes in – a healthy and tasty alternative to regular idly made from jowar (sorghum) flour.
Jowar is a gluten-free grain that is rich in nutrients and fiber. It is a staple food in many parts of India and is known for its health benefits. Jowar flour is commonly used to make Jowar rotis (flatbreads), dosas (pancakes), and other dishes. Jowar idly is a healthy and nutritious breakfast option that is easy to prepare and tastes great.
Jowar idlies are gluten-free, low in carbohydrates, and high in fiber, making them a healthy and filling breakfast option. They are also a good source of protein, iron, and other essential nutrients. Jowar idlies can be served with a variety of chutneys and sambar, just like regular idly.
One of the benefits of jowar idly is that it is easy to digest, making it suitable for people with digestive issues. It is also a great option for those looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy diet. Jowar idly can be a good breakfast option for people with diabetes, as it has a low glycemic index and can help regulate blood sugar levels.
