What to know about iD Fresh Multigrain Idly & Dosa Batter
A light rice batter with a small millet share
A 500 g tub of ready-to-use idly and dosa batter made from RO-purified water (42.9%), rice (29%) and a multigrain mix (9.2%) of foxtail millet, kodo millet, little millet, ragi and oats. Urad dal, rice rava, poha, puffed rice, iodised salt and fenugreek follow, with no percentages declared. It is bought by people who want the convenience of ready batter with some millets in it.
Per 100 g the batter has 135 kcal, 3.1 g protein, 3.24 g fibre, 0.64 g saturated fat and 100 mg sodium, with no sugar. The pack prints a serve as one 50 g idly: 67.68 kcal, 1.55 g protein, 1.62 g fibre and 50 mg sodium.
The front says multigrain and lists every ingredient, and the list backs up the no preservatives and no soda lines. The multigrain mix is under a tenth of the batter, though, and rice is the main grain. CleanPlate scores it DA1.
Why iD Fresh Multigrain Idly & Dosa Batter scores DA1
Nutrition is a D because rice and water lead and protein is only 3.1 g per 100 g. Ingredients are an A for a short list with no additives, and risk is a 1 with no sugar and 100 mg sodium per 100 g.

- Fibre

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 135 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Energy is 135 kcal per 100 g, protein 3.1 g and fibre 3.24 g. The batter is nearly half water, and rice, the largest protein contributor, is a refined-grain source, so the protein earns little credit.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. The multigrain mix is only 9.2% of the batter, which limits the extra fibre and protein from millets and oats.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

Does iD Fresh Multigrain Idly & Dosa Batter live up to its claims?
The no preservatives and no soda lines hold, but multigrain is a small share at 9.2%, and the pack's four supergrains does not match the five grains in the list.
- Product namePartly true
“Multigrain”
The multigrain mix of five millets and oats is real but 9.2% of the batter. Rice at 29% is the main grain.
- On the packBe careful
“Goodness of 4 supergrains!”
The list names five grains in the multigrain mix: foxtail, kodo and little millet, ragi and oats. The pack's count of four does not match.

“No chemicals, no soda, no preservatives”
No additive, preservative or raising agent is listed. The only extras are iodised salt and fenugreek.
- On the packBe careful
“Makes 10 idlies”
The back says 10 idlies or 7 dosas, while the panel counts 7 servings of 50 g per 500 g pack. The serve sizes do not line up.
