how many calories in idli
Each idli contains just 39 calories, which is a minimal amount in comparison to a healthy 2,000-calorie daily diet. Idlis contain no fat, no saturated fat and no cholesterol. Consuming less than 16 grams of saturated fat and 300 milligrams of cholesterol lessens your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
As a rule of thumb, you can assume 80 calories in one Idli. This is normal assumption for Diabetes Exchange List. In reality, it depends on the thinness of the batter and how many Idli are made from one cup of batter.
