Idlis (different version)
Idlis are considered a great low-calorie health diet because there is virtually no use of oil and the idlis are steamed. Typically, idlis are made from washed urad dal, but this particular version also includes green grams (moong dal), which is a rich source of iron and easy to digest.
Ingredients
1 cup rice
1 cup washed moong dal (yellow in colour)
3/4 cup urad dal (white)
Salt to taste
1 tsp soda bicarb or leavening agent (you can also use yeast)
1 tbsp oil (for greasing the moulds)
Preparation
Soak the dals and rice in water for 4-5 hours (you can use warm water if you want them to be soaked faster)
Grind together in a mixer to a thick paste adding little water if necessary to make it into dropping consistency.
Mix soda bicarb (in a spoon of water) in the mixture and leave it to ferment for 2-3 hours.
Add salt to taste.
Grease idli moulds. Fill each mould with the mixture and steam the idlis.
Serve hot with sambar or coconut chutney.
