Ingredients:
Split black gram/ Urad dal-----------1cup
Idli ravva/ semolina------------------------------2cups
Salt------------------------------------to taste
Water----------------------------to mix batter
Method:
Preparation of batter:
- Take Moong dal/ split black gram/ Urad dal and semolina/ Idli ravva in two different bowls and soak in water atleast for 6hrs.
- Grind Moong dal to fine paste and to this grinded mixture add Semolina / idli ravva (squeeze out all water before adding).
- Mix them throughly and the consistency should me neither thin nor thick it should be medium.
- Now close the lid tightly and leave it over night to ferment. In cold countries/ winter season due to the temperature changes it may not ferment properly the tip I follow is to keep the bowl in an oven with light on. The heat from the light bulb is enough for fermentation.
- Take Idli maker and clean it. Now grease the idli plates with oil.
- Take batter and add salt to taste( Dont forget this step) mix it well by adding some more water if u require..but most of the times it doesnot require water.
- Now take Idli mixture and fill each cup of the plate up to 3/4th volume.
- Pour 1 cup(160ml) of water in the Bottom bowl of idli maker.
- fix the plates and close the lid with vent( and opening at the top of the lid) open
- Now, place this idli maker in oven and bake for 5-6min
- After baking wait for few more min and take the lid off from the idli maker.
- Remove each idli carefully.Now, the idlies are ready.
- Serve with sambar and coconut chutney.
