While the world celebrates 31st of March as world IDLI day, here's your chance to relish whole food plant based version of one of the healthiest breakfast in the world.
Ingredients
Brown rice - 4 cups
Whole (black) urad dal - 1 cup
Fenugreek seeds – 1 tsp
Rock Salt - to taste
Method
1. Wash and soak brown rice for 4-5 hours. Wash and soak urad dal and fenugreek seeds together for 4-5 hours. Grind the soaked rice in the blender (or idli grinder) till you get a slightly coarse (but almost smooth) paste. Pour into a large bowl.
2. Grind the soaked urad dal in the blender till very smooth and mix with the rice paste.
3. Allow this mixture to ferment for 8-12 hours depending on the room temperature. It should have a slightly sour, fermented smell.
4. Add salt to taste.
5. Pour into an idli steamer to make idlis
6. Serve with sambhar and coconut chutney
Tip: In summer days 8 hours is sufficient, but on cooler days it takes longer (around 10-12 hrs) for fermentation.
