Rava Yogurt Idli is a healthy breakfast option and a popular South Indian dish. It's an instant recipe that doesn't require much hassle. Here, I've made stuffed idli with a stuffing inspired by vada pav flavors, which makes the idli even more delicious. I've also added spinach, making it more colorful and nutritious.
