Why Choose Beetroot?

Traditional idli meets beetroot to make a weight-friendly combo. Fewer calories mean more nutrients, which is a win-win combo.

Beetroot supports liver function and helps flush out toxins. Paired with fermented rice batter, it's a boon for your gut-health.

Grate boiled beetroot and mix it into your idli batter. Steam like we do for usual plain idlis, and that's it, no fancy tools or techniques needed.
