| Khushboo Idli |
As a part of the Blogging Marathon groups, we chat plus there are various recipes discussed, well you cannot be a foodie without that can you?
In one such chat, there were various idlis discussed. One of the idlis discussed was was Khushboo Idli! Now Khushboo means a pleasant smell in Hindi, so at the back of my mind, I kept wondering what an aroma it must be having.
So imagine my surprise when I was told that the idli was named after Khushboo, the actress!! She was and is so famous is something that I was not aware of. Well, my GK in the subject of movies is and has always been questionable.
So with apologies to Khushboo and her fans let’s eat Khushboo Idlis.
Thanks, Veena for this delicious recipe.

Thanks for the recipe Archana. I have lots of sago in stock but not everyone at home likes khichadi. Now I can add them to idli batter.

Khushboo Idli such an intriguing name. At first I thought that it may be an aromatic idli but on reading your post realized that its named after an actor. However, its a different kind of idli from the normal one as it has sabudana added to it. Idlis are so fluffy.
ArchanaPotdar says
Lol! you too fell for the name?
