Ingredients
For the Batter
- 1 cup Rice
- 1 cup Ragi Flour also known as ragi, finger millet flour
- 1 cup Gram black, split black gram
- 1 tbsp Fenugreek Seeds methi dana
- 2 tbsp Chickpea split, split chickpeas
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Soak the rice, urad dal, chana dal, and fenugreek seeds in ample water for at least 4-5 hours, or overnight.
- Grind the soaked ingredients into a smooth batter using a wet grinder or a high-speed blender. Add water as needed to achieve a smooth, pouring consistency.
- Add the ragi flour to the batter and mix well. Let the batter ferment in a warm place for 8-10 hours, or overnight. The batter should rise and become slightly fluffy.
Cook the Idlis
- Add salt to the fermented batter and mix gently.
- Grease your idli moulds with oil.
- Pour the batter into the greased idli molds, filling them about ¾ full.
- Steam the idlis in a steamer for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through and firm.
- Once cooked, let the idlis cool slightly before carefully removing them from the molds.
- Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sambar.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Ragi Idlis
- For a smoother batter, strain the batter after grinding to remove any residual skins.
- The fermentation time might vary depending on the temperature and humidity. The batter is ready when it has doubled in volume and is slightly fluffy.
- Don't overfill the idli molds, as the batter will rise during steaming. Leave about ¼ inch space at the top.
- If your idlis stick to the molds, ensure that you have greased them well and let them cool for a few minutes before removing them.
