Hi Supermoms,

Beaten Rice/Flattened Rice more popularly known as 'Poha' in India , can be used to make variety of recipes. The beauty is that , Poha recipes are always easy and can be made within a few minutes. 

Today I am going to share a quick poha recipe- the Poha Idli with just two ingredients : poha and curd. No baking soda /eno salt at all. 

The only trick is that you will need to aerate the batter by beating it well using a spoon after you ground the batter. 

Follow my simple steps and you will get super soft, melt in the mouth Poha Idlis.  Dip/drown them in steaming hot sambar and enjoy.
