Ingredients
Idli Batter
- 1 cup Semolina suji
- 1 cup Yogurt curd
- 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 1/2 Curry Leaves
Instructions
- Lightly grease your idli mold with oil. Place a few curry leaves in each mold cavity. This adds a touch of flavor and helps prevent the batter from sticking.
- In a bowl, combine the semolina, yogurt, and salt. Whisk until the batter is light and fluffy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared idli mold. Steam for 15 minutes until the idlis are cooked through and springy to the touch.
- Turn off the heat and let the idlis rest in the steamer for 5 minutes. This allows them to firm up and makes them easier to remove. Gently remove the idlis from the mold.
- Serve the hot, fluffy Masala Idlis with Madras chutney (gunpowder chutney mixed with ghee) and sambhar for a truly authentic South Indian experience.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Madras chutney powder, also known as gunpowder, is made from roasted urad dal, roasted chana dal, red chilies, and salt.
- You can grind the ingredients and store the powder dry.
- It's delicious with rice, dosa, and idli. When ready to use, simply make a paste with ghee.
Expert Tips
- For a spicier gunpowder, add a few dried Kashmiri chilies to the mix during roasting. These chilies provide a rich, deep red color and a moderate level of heat.
- Adjust the proportions of urad dal and chana dal to your liking. More urad dal will result in a slightly denser and nuttier flavor, while more chana dal will create a lighter and crispier texture.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover masala idlis can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat them in a steamer or microwave.
