Here I come, along with one more type of Idly using sago/sabudana/sabbakki. This recipe uses only couple of ingredients and that’s it ! tasty idlis will be ready in minutes.

Curd which is little sour is used in preparing this idly, so it turns out little tangy and it is made spicy by including green chilli in it.

Sago has many health benefits, It is full of energy and carbohydrates. Sago improves digestion, good for muscle growth, bone health, keeps blood pressure under control and so on.

I have also posted sago/sabbakki butter milk , sago flour rotti/roti , sago-moong dal/hesarubele upma & sago/sabbakki Payasa  here on my blog, so do not forget to check.

I have not added any other ingredients like semolina or rice flakes etc with the sago, the Idly is made using only sago/sabudana/sabbakki. Though we can consume this when it is completely cooled or kept for some considerable time but tastes best when it is hot and fresh.
