IDLY !!!!!!!


Idly is must breakfast at my mom's place. My father wants idly-chutney for breakfast everyday. I think he can make world record about this :D So, preparing snow white & soft soft idlies is not at all difficult for me. I am using my mom's measurement for making idly. Here i presented idly with SAMBAR & i will my SAMBAR recipe in next post seperately.

INGREDIENTS:-

urad dal - 3/4 cup
rice rava - 1 & 1/4 cup
salt - 1tsp



METHOD :-

1. Wash the urad dal twice & rinse in enough water atleast for 1 hour.
2. After one hour grind this urad dal to a smooth batter in grinder using enough water ( please use grinder only & don't use mixer. If you are using mixer urad dal-rice rava ratio should be 1:1). Batter must be like dosa batter.
3. Remove the urad dal batter & keep in a wide vessel. Choose a big vessel such that there is enough space for the better to rise well.

4. To this batter add salt & rice rava (wash & drain the rice rava once) & mix well. Your idly batter is ready. Close the vessel tightly with a lid & keep in a warm place. Keep it for fermentation for 7-8 hours in summer days  & 10-11 hours in cold days.



5. Next day the batter would have rasied very well.


6. Mix it well. Pour one laddle full of batter in each idly mould.


  
7. Steam it for 20 mins. (insert a knife in one idly after 15 mins. If it came out cleanly then switch off the stove . Otherwise continue steaming for futher 5 mins)




8. Keep the mould outside for 5 mins & then demould idlies.





9. Serve it with SAMBAR / chutney /  your choice of pickle. ( i served it with SAMBAR).





HAPPY COOKING :))))))
