ABOUT Idly Chutney RECIPE

The traditional way of making idlis is using a idli cloth made of muslin. Idli is protein rich food that is packed with nutrients. Exceptionally healthy for diabetics as well.

Ingredients Serving: 4

1 cup urad gota / whole
3 cups idli rice or parboiled rice
3 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 large green chilly
few sprigs of mint
mustard seeds for tadka
oil for tempering

Instructions

Soak the urad dal and rice in water for a couple of hours.
Wet grind the urad dal first into a fine paste for 30 minutes.
Remove the paste and keep in a large container.
Now grind the rice for another 40 minutes - rice paste can be slightly coarse.
Mix both and let this batter ferment in a warm place for 8-10 hours.
Add salt before making idlis.
The traditional steamer has holes in idli plates so we need a muslin cloth as base.
Add the batter into the starter plates and steam for 10-15 minutes.
For the chutney heat a pan add some oil and fry the tomatoes, mint and chillies.
Add salt.
Grind in a mixer well and temper with mustard seeds.
