Broken-Wheat idly / samba gothumai idly..
                              
 Broken Wheat - Broken wheat is also called bulgar wheat. Broken wheat is a form of wheat that has been made by milling the wheat coarsely after cleaning and husking it. It is a source of complex carbohydrates which provide energy to the human body. The fiber content in it is helpful to the digestive system. Broken wheat has more protein content in it than corn or rice.

                                                     This is a total variation of the usual rice idlies that is steamed in south India,  more flavorful, crumble, tasty n with g8 texture too...since my kids like to taste different Indian foods , I made these idlies as a variation of usual idlies....n off-course my kids luv it....   
                                                     
                                                      The crumbling texture is a treat for the eyes as well as taste buds....having a bite makes the taste buds ask for more.....soo try it n c the difference...
