Idli is an ideal south indian breakfast and is famous all over India. It is light and nutritious and can be eaten by people of any age. Even doctors recommend this when one is sick as it is easily digested.

Making Idlis is not at all difficult but preparing the batter takes a lot of time as it has to be fermented. Rice and urad dal are the main ingredients which goes into preparing idlis.

INGREDIENTS

Ponni boiled rice 2 cups
Black gram(urad dal) 1 cup
fenugreek 2 tsp
salt

METHOD

Rice and urad dal(black gram) and fenugreek are separately soaked in water for atleast 6 hours, then it is separately ground and then they are mixed together ,salt is added to the batter.

First batter for urad dal has to be ground with fenugreek, it should be in thick consistency, as it grinds the urad dal rises, take it out and put in a vessel..Add the rice in the grinder and it should be aslo ground in thick consistency, it should not be ground fine, take it out and put with urad dal batter.

Then the batter is poured into special idli vessels after greasing them with oil and are steamed for 10 minutes in rice cooker. Butter knife is used to remove the idlis. This can be served with sambar, chutney and in chutney there are lot of varieties.

I love idilis and like to eat when ever I am hungry . Long time back people used to use mortar and pestle to grind idilis ,it was a tough job. After the invention of grinders it is very easy to make idli batter. As this recipe was limited to south india , after the grinders it has become one of the most popular recipe in whole of India.
