Rava Idli in Microwave

Idlis should be declared as India’s national breakfast! I have not found any other option for Breakfast which is as tasty, filling and healthy as Idlis which makes it such a popular breakfast option pan India. .

Though it’s completely personal opinion, I have not found anyone who can deny this fact. My hubby and MIL are quite fond of Rava Idlis, with or without any added extra veggies. Rava Idlis are a perfect breakfast option and with if Microwave oven is part of your kitchen, then this is one recipe that you must know about. It gets done in Microwave in almost no time.

In my a little over decade long IT career, when I started practicing Project Management, a principle that was inculcated in our attitudes was- make the best usage of available resources to get the best results!
