Kodo Millet Curd idli /Varagarisi Thayir Idli is a yummy recipe made out of millet idlis.

First I need to thank each and every one who visit my blog frequently and give me motivating comments. Your positive comments and appreciations means a lot to me and drives me to post lots of new recipes. I keep getting requests to include lots of Kids friendly millet recipes. I really understand all your mothers pain to make your little one eat healthy food. One idea that works out in my home is making the healthy food look colourful.

In this recipe, I have made Idli out of Kodo millet but made it as curd idli and decorated with contrasting red colour grated carrots which will be very attractive to kids. Try this idea at your home to make your fussy eater to eat. I have given more options at TIPS section at the bottom of the post.

The other names of Kodo Millet are Kodra (Hindhi), Varagu (Tamil), Arikelu (Telugu), Harka (Kannada).
