oats idli recipe without soda:

For oats idli without soda: I have added little bit of cooking/baking soda here in this recipe which can be replaced by fruit salt or without it. in that case, rest the batter for 30 minutes and then use but you will miss the super fluffiness in idli though it remains soft.

Vegetables used: Vegetables added here are capsicum, carrots and paneer. You can even add peas, beans but make sure all those are very finely chopped so that it blends in idli and does not stay odd looking.

Rava/sooji: I have used normal upma rava/sooji in this recipe.
