South Indian Breakfast Dish Idli , is not only easy to make but also extremely healthy and easy to digest. How to make soft and spongy Idli easily at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup urad dal / Split Black gram
- 3 cups par-boiled rice /ukda chawal
- 1/2 tsp. fenugreek /methi seeds
- 1 tsp. salt to taste
- coconut oil or any other refined oil for greasing
Directions
- 1.Wash Urad dal and rice with clean water 2-3 times till all milkish color goes away.
- 2.Soak the urad dal and fenugreek seeds together for 3-4 hours. (I have used full urad dal without the black skin.
- 3.Soak rice in enough water for 3-4 hours. You will get par-boiled rice anywhere in grosser shop.
- 4.First blend urad dal and fenugreek seeds in blender till smooth consistency.
- 5.Blend rice in a mixer till smooth. Remove and keep aside. With regular mixer or blender , this process takes little long time to get perfect consistency.
- 6.Combine urad dal and rice mixture together in sufficient big bowl, because this mixture will be fermenting and increase in size. Keep this mixture aside for fermentation process at least 6-7 hours. So, overnight is good for this process.
- 7.Once the Idli batter is fermented, add salt and mix well.
- 8.Grease the Idli mould with oil and put spoonful of batter into these moulds.
- 9.Fill in lower level of steamer with water and put Idli moulds on it. Cover the steamer. Steam these Idli for 10-15 minutes.Check with toothpick if they are done, if Toothpick comes out with no sticky dough means Idli is ready.
- 10.Remove Idli with spoon into bowl and again grease moulds with oil for next batch of Idli.
- (Because we need more Idli.. Right!!!)
- Serve Hot and Soft Idli with Coriander Chutney , coconut chutney and Sāmbhar.
