IDLI BATTER

Idli is one of my fav breakfasts to make.... bcoz at a time v can make it in a lot and just relax... its healthy too as v cook it on steam....

But a good idli's secret is its batter....



Ingredients:

 urad dal / minapa pappu        -  1 cup

 idli ravva                                  - 2 cups

( you can add 4 methi seeds also)

Prodecudure:

1. Soak urad dal and idli ravva seperatley for at least 4-6 hours




 2. Now grind the dal first .

3. squeeze out all the water from idli rava vth ur hand and put it in another bowl.... squeeze as hard as possible....





4. this is how it looks after squeezing out the water.



5. Now mix the grinded dal batter with this ravva



 6. mix it really well ..... ravva and batter shud mix compeltely...



7. Now let it ferment for atleast 6 hours or overnight...
  Next day/ after fermentation... the batter will b almost doubled.....

8. This is my batter which almost doubled overnight.... :)


9. Now mix it with a ladel very gently.... and store it in fridge.... u can use it till a week..

10. Now make idlis and njoy..... 


TIP:  DON'T MIX IT TOO MUCH , AS THE AIR BUBBLES WILL SPLIT AND IDLI WILL NOT BE SOFT..

 

 

TIP: u can place a betel leaf / thamalapaku(telugu) on the batter to prevent it from becoming sour.....
