Idly


Idly is a very common tiffin in any South Indian house. As the Idly rice prices have shot up and in fact we were not getting in stores. I have tried making it with long grain rice. Not bad it was a success!!!!
Ingredients
Long grain rice-7 cups
(any brand i bought Blue Ribbon from Costco)
Whole urad dhal-1 & 1/4cups
Salt-to taste
Method
Soak the rice with boiling water in a wide vessel for 3hrs.Don't close it with a lid,otherwise your rice will be cooked.Soak urad dhal separately with normal tap water.Grind both separately.Add salt mix both batters together,ferment it for at least 8hrs.Next day beat the batter nicely,grease your Idly plates.Pour a ladle of batter and steam it.Serve it with chutney or Idly podi.
Variation
Long grain rice-4cups
Urad dhal-1cup
salt to taste
Method
Fry the rice in a pan till it changes colour to milk white.Switch off stove pour water and soak it for 3hrs.Soak uraddhal separately.Grind it separately,add salt mix it for fermentation.Then make Idlys.When I visited my Cousin in Minneapolis I learned it from her.As it is a snowy place she makes Idlys this way.
