This Idli is a traditional breakfast in South India; made up by steaming a fermented rice and skinned and split black gram batter. Can have with sāmbhar and coconut chutney.

Directions

  • Wash and soak rice (चावल) and Skinned and split black gram (धूलि उड़द दाल) separately for 4-5 hours in water.
  • Drain water from rice (चावल) and Skinned and split black gram (धूलि उड़द दाल). Grind Skinned and split black gram (धूलि उड़द दाल) to a fine smooth paste, and the rice (चावल) a little coarse (enough to feel a texture, like fine sand).
  • Mix the two grated ingredients with salt and enough water to form a batter of dropping consistency.
  • Leave this batter in a warm place for overnight to ferment to a spongy batter.
  • Garnish your idli steamer stand with oil and place this batter over it and steam idli’s.
  • Serve hot with coconut chutney and Sāmbhar.
