Healthy Idli’s
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...Well it’s been a while since I posted and today I am craving something healthy. Not a surprise. I have been really neglecting my diet in general. So here’s a recipe that actually makes you feel a little good about your diet.
Ingredients
Urad Dhal – 1 cup
Moong Dhal – 1 cup
Method
Soak the dhal’s for at least one hour in sufficient water to cover them completely.
Grind to a paste in a blender with sufficient water. The batter should be reasonably thick like cake batter.
Pour the batter into a deep bowls or dish and keep it in a warm place covered loosely with a lid. Leave it overnight to rise. It might take longer in the colder regions.
Once it has doubled in size, slowly stir it down with a spoon and refrigerate the batter.
To prepare the idli’s, take about half the batter and add a little salt and water. Just enough water to be able pour the batter easily.
Grease the idli moulds with ghee or oil and pour the batter in the moulds to just below the rim of the moulds. Steam the idlis in the cooker for 5 min.
Remove and serve immediately with coconut chutney.
Notes:
Quantity of batter used will depend on the size of the moulds.
