Ingredients

4

150 grams Red Rice

50 grams Urad dal

1 teaspoon Methi seeds

Tips

Ensure proper fermentation for soft and fluffy idlis.

Adjust salt according to taste preference.

Serve hot with sambar and chutney for a complete meal experience.

Directions

Rinse the red rice, urad dal, and methi seeds thoroughly and soak them together in water for 6-8 hours.

After soaking, drain the water and grind the mixture into a smooth batter using a grinder or blender. Add water as needed to achieve a thick yet pourable consistency.

Transfer the batter into a large bowl, add salt according to taste, and mix well.

Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and allow the batter to ferment for 8-10 hours or overnight in a warm place.

Once the batter is fermented, grease the idli moulds with oil or ghee.

Pour the batter into the moulds, filling them to about 3/4th of their capacity.

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

Once done, remove the idli mould from the steamer and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

Carefully unmould the idlis using a spoon or knife.

Serve hot with sambar and chutney.

Notes

Red rice is known for its high antioxidant content, which aids in reducing inflammation and lowering cholesterol levels.

However, individuals with gluten intolerance should avoid this recipe.
