Oats corn idli stories:
Come weekend, breakfast more often than not is different from the usual ones. When my daughter demands impromptu her favourite “white“ idli (rice-urad dal idli), this is something I resort to (well, I still need to explain her, why it isn’t white !!!).
Of the several oats dishes, I personally love to have this. Together with the potato sagu, it tastes as good as any of those served by famous Darshinis across Bangalore!!!
