Idli and Chutney

Simple yet chic title exactly fits to the famous breakfast combo Idli chutney. We all follow the standard procedure of making Idli. So I also did the same soaking, fermenting and steaming.

Ingredients:
White rice - 2 cups (I used India gate Basmati rice)
urad dal - 1 cup
salt
cooked rice - 1/4 cup
fenugreek seeds (methi dana) - 1/4 tsp

Method:
  • Soak rice and urad dal in different bowls add methi to urad dal and soak for 4 to 5 hrs
  • Drain the rice and grind along with cooked rice into a smooth paste add little water.
  • Now drain and grind the urad dal to a smooth paste by adding little water
  • Mix both the batters add a little salt and ferment overnight in a large vessel
  • Morning you will find the batter ready.
  • Stir the batter carefully check for salt if required add some.
  • I made the idlis in my pressure cooker so add water and boil without putting the weight.
  • In the mean time separate the plates in idli stand apply some oil and pour a spoonful of the batter in the round impressions ( I usually fill 3/4 of the round as it gives space for the idli to rise well )
  • Steam the idli for 15 min on medium flame 
  • Once done sprinkle some water and carefully demold the stand.
  • Soft and fluffy Idlis are ready.They go well with chutney and sambhar.



Chutney
Ingredients:
Coconut - 1 cup grated
fresh coriander - handful
green chilli - 2 
ginger - 1"
lemon - 1 small
roasted bengal gram ( chana dal ) - 1 tbs
salt -to taste
water - to grind

Method:
Grind all the above listed in the ingredients list to a fine paste add little water.
This chutney goes well with idly or any pakoda recipe.
