This is i recipe that screams "healthy". I accept been important to travail this for the longest now. Kulith way Equus caballus gram. We brand a myriad of dishes amongst it. We brand kulitha koddel, kulitha saaru upkari too kulitha upkari. The nomenclature is because this grain was fed to horses too cattle.Horse gram is extremely nutritious. My woman nurture used to terra firma that eating horse-gram would plow over i the forcefulness of a horse! It is also i of the few lentils/ beans that are evidently non gassy too does non practise bloating. Combine this swell good for you lot grain amongst urad dal( matpe edible bean lentil) too rice too brand idlis ( steamed rice lentil cakes) amongst this too you lot accept bonus nutrition. The regular idlis only accept the matpe edible bean lentil too rice, this has the additional nutrients. The downward side is that the idlis don't await rattling pretty. They await similar they accept flax-meal inwards them! Taste wise, awesome! I dear it!
So without farther ado allow me portion the recipe amongst you.
Servings: xx idlis
Ingredients:
Kulith ( Horse Gram): 1/2 cup
Urad dal: 1/2 cup
Idli rava ( rice rava): 1 cup
Cooked rice/ poha: 1/4 cup
Water: 1 to 1 1/2 cups to grind urad dal too Equus caballus gram
Salt to sense of savor ( only about 3/4 tsp)
Method:
Soak kulith ( Equus caballus gram) too urad dal for 5-6 hours.
Wash idli rava/ rice rava thoroughly too continue aside.
Blend kulith too urad dal inwards a blender adding H2O piddling at a fourth dimension until it rises to ii times the book you lot started with. Make certain you lot plow over the motor of the blender some residue inwards between. The consistency of the the world batter should move fluffy too calorie-free ,not runny.
Pour the batter inwards a big bowl/ container.
Now mix the washed idli rava amongst the horsegram-urad dal , add together salt,cover too allow it ferment overnight ( 5-6 hours if inwards hot weather).If living inwards a mutual depression temperature region, you lot tin continue it inwards the mutual depression temperature oven/ microwave overnight amongst the equipment turned off.
Next morning time you tin steam the idlis.
Grease the idli mold amongst ghee/ butter/ Pam, fill upward it amongst batter until 2/3 amount too steam inwards the idli steamer / pull per unit of measurement area cooker ( without using the weight) for 10 minutes on medium- high flame.
Turn off the oestrus too allow it cool downward inwards the steamer for some other 10 minutes earlier taking them out of the mold.
Serve hot amongst sambar/ chutney or both.
Cooking made easy:
Well fermented batter results inwards soft, calorie-free too fluffy idlis. You tin know this when the batter has risen a piddling inwards the container. Inadequte fermentation leads to misfortunate lineament idlis that are hard,dense too has a doughy texture.
If the batter is equally good thick, add together a piddling water. The consistency of the batter should move slightly thick ( thicker than dosa batter).
The improver of piddling chip of poha/cooked rice helps ferment the idlis amend making it soft an fluffy.
This idli tin also move made amongst sprouted Equus caballus gram equally I accept made inwards the pictures below. Sprouting also helps amongst fermentation particularly during winter.
