 Soft Idly


Idli with sambar & coconut Chutney is one of the most popular South Indian breakfast.  

These steamed rice cakes are made with rice &  urad dal batter. 

My family loves these soft fluffy idlis with dal tove or chutney. These idlis can be enjoyed with any meat/ fish or vegetable curry too. 

The best & healthy choice for Breakfast,  kids lunch box or evening tea. 

This recipe is tried & loved by many of my friends and relatives. 

Here I have used very little yeast for fermentation purpose. You can use 1/2 tsp methi( Fenugreek seeds) while grinding instead of yeast. 

Here is a simple easy recipe. 

RECIPE:

I have used 200 ml cup for measurement.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dosa rice,
  • 1/4 cup udad daal,
  •  3/4 cup poha / Beaten rice (soaked for 5-10 minutes)
  • 1/4 tsp yeast.
  • Salt & sugar to taste

Method:


Soak dal & rice for minimum 2 hours.  

Grind to a fine paste along with soaked poha/beaten rice. 
Let the batter be slightly thicker than the dosa batter.   

Add  1/4 tsp yeast, pinch of sugar & salt,  mix well. 

Cover and allow  to  ferment for atleast 4-5 hours. 
(Fermentation process depends on the climatic conditions). 

Fermented batter. 

Boil sufficient water in the steaming vessel. 

Meanwhile grease idli plates & keep aside. 

Pour this batter into the greased idli moulds. 

Steam for 10-12 minutes. 

Steamed idlis are ready. 

Remove the idli plate  & allow it to cool for 10 minutes. 

Gently unmold the idlis.

Fresh, fluffy idlis are ready to serve. 

These super  soft idlis  just melt in the mouth. 

These idlis are best enjoyed with sambar / dal tove  or chutney for breakfast.  

Same batter can be used to make sannas too. 

Prepare this dish and enjoy with your loved ones.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat.

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine.  I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable.  This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.   This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.   Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice.  This same masala...
