Brown rice is a source of many beneficial nutrients, including fiber, magnesium, zinc and vitamin B-6. White rice, which is refined brown rice, has smaller amounts of these nutrients than whole-grain brown rice. I made idli with brown rice along with idly rice and it came out well. Idlis are an indispensable part of a typical South Indian breakfast menu No pre-planning, soaking, etc. and still we get to eat idlis whenever we want..
I still love idlis made the regular way. I have used the whole ingredients and brown rice to make a healthy Brown idli.... Wow! Was so happy and could not wait for the next day to gobble the idlis. And as you can see, they came out really well and we enjoyed it dipping into the chutney... Fiber rich food leading to weight loss, Rich in Selenium which reduces the risk of colon cancer, Reduces risk of metabolic syndrome. So we have to make in lesser quantities & keep it for one day.
