Idli

Idli is a common and popular Breakfast in all

south Indian homes..During childhood days

I dislike Idlis since Amma used to make Idlis

every alternative days..Appa is a die hard fan of

Idlis..The proportion for the rice and urad dal may

vary .

Ingredients

Urad dal - 1 cup

Idli rice - 4 cups

Salt to taste

Method

• Soak dal with enough water for 2 hrs.
• Soak rice for 3- 4 hrs.
• Wash the dal with water and grind it in the wet grinder.
• Add water little by little . The batter should be like soft butter.
• Remove the batter from the grinder.
• Wash the rice and grind it to a coarse batter using enough water.
• Mix both the batters well with the hands adding salt.
• Leave the batter to ferment for 8 - 10 hrs in a warm place.
• The next day morning the batter should be doubled.
• Don't mix the batter now.Grease the idli plates.
• Take a ladle of batter and pour into the moulds.
• Steam in the pressure cooker for 10 min.
• Remove the plates and wait for some time .Using a broader spoon remove the idlis from moulds.
