Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cup Oats
- 1 1/2 cup Wheat cracked
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda or eno fruit salt
- 1/4 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1 tsp Gram black
Fresh Ingredients
- 1 cup Carrot grated
- 1 Chili Pepper chopped, green
- 2 cup Yogurt fresh
Instructions
- Dry roast the cracked wheat in a pan over medium heat until fragrant. This enhances the nutty flavor. Transfer to a bowl.
- In the same pan, dry roast the oats over low heat for 1 minute. Be careful not to burn them. Transfer to the bowl with the cracked wheat.
- Coarsely grind the roasted oats and cracked wheat together in a mixer or food processor.
- Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and urad dal. Sauté until the mustard seeds splutter and the dal turns golden brown.
- Add the chopped green chili and grated carrot to the pan. Sauté for a minute until slightly softened.
- Transfer the sautéed ingredients to the bowl with the ground oats and cracked wheat mixture.
- Add fresh curd and salt to the bowl. Mix well, adding water gradually, until the batter reaches the consistency of regular idli batter.
- Just before steaming, add the eno fruit salt (or baking soda). Mix gently. The eno fruit salt acts as a leavening agent, creating light and airy idlis.
- Immediately grease idli molds and pour the batter into them.
- Steam the idlis for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Alternatively, if you have time, let the batter rest for 30-45 minutes before steaming. This allows for natural fermentation and eliminates the need for eno fruit salt or baking soda.
- For added nutrients, consider adding grated cabbage or fresh green peas along with the carrot.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch and nutrition, add a handful of finely chopped nuts like cashews or almonds to the batter before steaming.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, sauté some finely chopped onions, green chilies, and curry leaves and mix them into the batter for an aromatic touch.
- To prevent the idlis from sticking, lightly grease the idli molds with a drop of ghee or coconut oil; this will also lend a subtle richness to the final dish.
- Leftover idlis can be diced and tossed with a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and chopped tomatoes to create a quick, flavorful idli upma for the next meal.
Expert Tips
- For perfectly fermented batter, use a warm place for fermentation and allow sufficient time, especially in colder climates. A slightly sour aroma indicates proper fermentation.
- Achieve soft and fluffy idlis by grinding the batter to a smooth consistency and not over-steaming them. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should come out clean.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover idlis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by steaming or microwaving.
