How to prepare soft idli
Idli is a traditional and healthy breakfast in most of the South Indian houses. Idli can be prepared either using idli rice or idli rava, Urad dal is the common in both the methods. Idli with coconut chutney and sambar make the perfect combination of breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Urad dal
- 1 cup Idli rava
- Water for soaking and grinding
- Salt as required
- Oil to grease
Notes
- Soak the Urad dal in enough water for 3 to 4 hours.
- Drain the water from urad dal.
- Grind it to a soft batter by adding water along with it.
- Pour into a deep bowl, add salt and mix well.
- Dry roast the idli rava, once cooled add to the batter and mix.
- If the batter looked too thick then add little water.
- Keep it for 8 hours, let it get fermented and the batter will rise. (this is the reason I told you to use deep bowl)
- Grease the Idli moulds with oil.
- Stir the Idli batter well and pour into the moulds.
- Keep in a steamer for 10 to 12 minutes till the Idlis are done.
- Serve the hot Idli's with chutney, sambar or chutney powder.
