ABOUT Spongy Idlis.. RECIPE

Fluffy and super spongy Idlis are loved by all. Who can forget them for a breakfast ? This South Indian breakfast idea is a yummy one along with being healthy too. Poha or flattened rice is used for fluffy Idlis by many but i stick to my mom's method of doing it with cooked rice. Happy Breakfast Time !!!!!!!!!!

Instructions

Soak rice and dal separately for 6 hours or more.
Grind them separately.
Add cooked rice to the raw rice while grinding.
Grind to a smooth and a thick batter.
Add salt and leave it to ferment for over 8 hours.
Put water to boil in a vessel or an idli cooker.
Grease the idli plates.
Add a spoonful of the batter into each depression of the idli plates.
Steam these for a good 15 minutes or a little more covered with a lid.
Do not open the lid to check in between.
The steam should not be allowed to escape in the midst of steaming.
After switching off the flame, wait for about 5 minutes more before you open the lid.
Serve these fluffy idlis with sambar and coconut chutney.
