Panivaragu Murungakeerai Idiyappam (Proso Millet Moringa Leaves Idiyappam)

Idiyappam is a light and healthy breakfast recipe next to IDLYS made usually with rice flour in South Indian cuisine. Here am using the millet flour for the idiyappam with moringa leaves to make the idiyappam more healthy. You can prepare the same recipe in normal rice flour too. If you have the leftover idiyappam then you can easily prepare this recipe. Check out my other MILLET RECIPES....
