IDLI

Ingredients:-

·        Parboiled rice

·        Black bean dal/urad dal

·        Salt

Preparation:-

·        The proportion of the rice and urad dal for idli batter should be 2:1.Take two large bowls full of the parboiled rice and 1 bowl full of urad dal.

·        Wash the rice and dal separately and immerse in water completely. Soak overnight.

·        Grind the soaked parboiled rice and urad dal into a fine paste. Add water if needed. Mix them both and leave for 3-4 hours to ferment.

·        To make idlis, oil the bottom of idli moulds. Mix salt to taste in the fermented batter (add water if needed) and ladle out the batter into the moulds. Fill water in a boiler and place the moulds in it. Steam for 15 minutes.

·        To check if the idlis are done, sink the tip of a knife in one of them. If no batter sticks to the knife the idlis are ready.

·        Serve with chutney and sambar.
