Green Moong And Vegetable Idlis are healthy and delicious savory steamed rice and lentil cake made with green mung bean and vegetables. This is served with idli and sambar.
Green Moong And Vegetable Idlis are a perfect way to have healthy breakfast needed to kick start our day. Since these idlis are made with moong or green gram instead of rice, they are ideal for diabetic people. Green gram are high in protein and are packed with vitamins and minerals. I have also added grated carrot and dill leaves to this idli recipe which are high in vitamin A and vitamin C.
I made these healthy and flavoursome green moong idlis for my parents who visited me last weekend. They just loved them. My daughter too ate them. These idlis taste the best when eaten steaming piping hot, right from the steamer. You can serve these idlis with pudina chutney.
Make these green moong and vegetable idlis and pack them in tiffins too so that your family can eat healthy food instead of the junk and unhygienic office canteen food.
Since the idlis don’t have rice, you can make them on fasting days too.
