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.
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 :))))))
