Selamat Pagi Everyone

Assalamualaikum, good morning, selamat pagi, ohaiyo gozaimasu to all.

The alarm woke me up at 6. Freshen up a lil bit and right in front of the pc I was as everyone else are still asleep. Suddenly remembered the rice and dhall that I soaked last nite. I washed the soak items thoroughly and put them in a blender. Once done, i made myself a cup of tea and when straight to see what's in the fridge. Hmmm.... nice to have mee goreng for breakfast I thought.



Recipe for Idli

Ingredients:-

1 cup white urad dhall
2 cups rice (i use basmati rice)
2 tablespoon cooked rice
2 1/2 cups water (450 ml)
1/2 teaspoon bicabornate soda mix with 1 tablespoon water (optional)
salt to taste

Method:-
1. Soak rice and dhall with water in a different pot for 6 hrs.
2. Grind dhall with 1 1/2 cups (250ml) water until smooth.
3. Grind rice together with the cooked rice with 1 cup (200ml) water until smooth.
4. Mix the blended rice and dhall together and stir until combine.
5. Cover and leave it overnite.
6. Before cooking, add salt and bicarbonate soda to the batter and leave it for 10 minutes.
7. Grease mould with oil, pour the batter and steam for 10 minutes.

Tips:- The bicarbonate soda is to make the idli more spongy and fluffy.

Serve with dhall, chutney, chicken curry or whatever curry you like. You can serve idli for breakfast or dinner. My little J likes to eat her idli with just sugar...that explains why she has rotten tooth...hahahahaha
