Sama ki Idli -Steamed cakes made with Barnyarn millet/Varai-Vrat ka khana

Sama ki Idli- samu/Varai/samak/barnyarn millet and sabudana, kuttu atta, singhora atta,rajgiri atta are mainly used as a fasting food.They are specially consumed during Navratri, shivratri,ekadashi and on other fasting days.

There are many recipes made by using these millets and seeds. Potato, arbi/colocosia, yam are mainly used vegetables during fasting.
In my community we fast on Ekadashi and Rishi punchmi(tomorrow)and only eat dishes made with sama and sabudana.

The recipes made during fasting /Vrat ka khana ,are often deep fried or shallow fried so we consume a lot of ghee or oil.These steamed sama ke chawal ki Idli are very good as they are easy to digest and taste good,serve these sama ke chawal ki Idlis with healthy and delicious-fruit and nut chutney and Coconut Chutney

I have also posted few fasting /vrat recipes in my blog-
