  1. Hey Shirley, a quick question. Did you use instant oats or the old fashioned oats for making the idli?

  3. Hi Shirley,
    I specifically liked this dish as I'm not a big fan of Oats...but this definitely is a must try dish.
    I used to share recipes with you on CookEatShare and now I've started my own food blog.
