Ingredients
For the Idli Batter
- 2 cup Semolina also known as suji
- 1 cup Yogurt plain, full-fat yogurt recommended
- 1 cup Water may need slightly more or less depending on the consistency of the batter
- 1.5 tsp Salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp Eno Fruit Salt
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Mix semolina and yogurt in a large bowl. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Add salt and water gradually, mixing gently until a smooth, pourable batter forms. The consistency should be neither too thick nor too thin.
- Just before steaming, add Eno fruit salt and mix well. Do not overmix.
Prepare the Garnish
- Heat oil in a small pan. Fry the cashews until lightly golden. Set aside.
Steam the Idlis
- Lightly grease an idli steamer plate or mould.
- In each idli mold, add 2-3 fried cashews, a few coriander leaves, and a small slice of tomato.
- Pour the batter into the greased idli molds, filling them about ¾ full.
- Steam for 10-15 minutes, or until the idlis are cooked through and easily lift from the molds.
Serve
- Serve the idlis hot with your favorite sambar or coconut chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Instant Idlis
- For extra fluffy idlis, use fresh, thick yogurt.
- Don't overmix the batter after adding Eno fruit salt; this can make the idlis tough.
- If your batter is too thick, add a little more water; if it's too thin, add a tablespoon or two more semolina.
- Experiment with different garnishes! Finely chopped green chilies or grated carrots would also be delicious additions.
