Rice Rava Idli with Peanut Chutney and Pulinji |
Ingredients:
Idli Rava (Rice Rava) – 3 cups
Black Gram – 1 cup
Ghee – 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Method:
-
- Wash and soak black gram in water for 4hrs.
- In another vessel, soak idli rava for 3hrs.
- Grind black gram into fine batter.
- Mix this batter with soaked idli rava and salt.
- Let this batter ferment overnight or for 7-8hrs.
- Smear ghee into the mould of idli plates
- Beat the batter lightly. If you beat the batter too much, it will remove all the air accumulated in the batter making idli less fluffy.
- Place the idli plates in a steamer and cook in steam for 30mins.
- Remove the lid of the steaming vessel as soon as you turn off the heat to avoid water vapor from dropping onto idli.
- Let the idli plates cool for a minute before you scoop put idli from the mould.
- Serve hot with ghee, peanut/coconut chutney, sambhar and pulinji.
