4

2 & half cups Rice

1 cup Urad dal

0.02 cup Chana dal

1 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds

1 cup Fresh grated coconut

Salt as per taste

Water as per taste

Tips

Ensure the batter is well-fermented for soft and fluffy idlis.

Adjust the consistency of the batter with water if necessary; it should be smooth and slightly thick.

Experiment with different chutneys or side dishes to enhance the flavor of your meal.

Avoid making idlis too large or they may not cook evenly.

Directions

Wash and soak rice, urad dal, chana dal, and fenugreek seeds in water for 6-7 hours.

Drain the soaked rice and dals.

Grind the rice and dals separately to form smooth batters.

Combine the batters and mix well.

Add 1 cup of fresh grated coconut and water to the batter.

Mix thoroughly to form a smooth batter.

Let the batter ferment for 8-10 hours in a warm place until it rises and becomes slightly bubbly.

Heat the steamer on medium heat.

Grease the idli molds lightly with oil.

Pour the fermented batter into the idli molds.

Steam the idlis for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove the idlis from the molds and serve them hot with coconut chutney and sambar.

Notes
