Sago Idli recipe

Sago Idli recipe, Javarisi idli Easy to make no fermentation, no grind Idli recipe. Easy South Indian breakfast recipes.

Idli is the most staple South Indian recipe . We usually make Idli by grinding idli rice and urad dal and ferment it for 8-12 hours. Other than that we make Instant Rava Idli using sooji. This Sago Idli is an easy idli recipe without any grinding and fermentation.

I got this recipe from my friend Meera a long time back. I have tried this a few times at home. This time wanted to make a video on how to make sago idli. I soaked it yesterday but today it was a cloudy and rainy day, I couldn’t take video.

I will update the recipe with a video soon. We all loved the sago pearls in the soft idlis. The sourness of the curd and addition of coconut gives soft spongy idli.
