Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Wheat Rava fine wheat semolina
- 1 cup Vermicelli broken vermicelli (thin)
Wet Ingredients
Tempering Ingredients
- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds rai
- 1 tsp Chickpeas chana dal, split
- 1 tbsp Oil vegetable or coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp Eno Fruit Salt
Instructions
Preparing the Batter
- Mix the wheat rava and vermicelli in a large bowl. Add the yogurt, salt, and water. Mix thoroughly with a ladle until a smooth, pourable batter forms. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the rava and vermicelli to soften.
Making the Tempering
- Heat the oil in a small pan. Add the mustard seeds and split chickpeas. Sauté until the seeds splutter and the chickpeas turn light brown.
Steaming the Idlis
- Add the eno fruit salt to the batter and gently mix. Immediately pour the batter into greased idli molds. Steam for 15-20 minutes, or until the idlis are cooked through and firm.
Serving
- Allow the idlis to rest in the molds for 5 minutes before removing. Serve hot with sambar and coconut chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Idlis
- For extra fluffy idlis, use freshly ground rava.
- Ensure the yogurt is well-blended to achieve a smooth batter. Avoid using overly thick or watery yogurt.
- Don't overmix the batter after adding the eno fruit salt; a few gentle folds are sufficient to incorporate it.
- If your idlis stick to the molds, lightly grease them with oil or cooking spray.
