Kollu Idli/ Horse gram Idli

 A healthy variant of Idli, and easy to make!



Ingredients :

Idli Rice: 1.5 cup

Horse Gram: 1 cup

Urad Dhal: 1 cup.

Method:

Soak all the three ingredients separately for up to 3-4 hours, and horse gram needs a longer soaking time for up to 8 hours.

Once soaked, grind the urad dhal into a smooth buttery batter with little water, followed by Idli rice that can be ground slightly coarse, and then finally horse gram into a smooth batter.

Mix all the three together and add salt per taste.

Allow it to ferment for 6-8 hours. The batter will have a pungent smell from horse gram and that is normal.

Steam it in an Idli steamer for 10-12 minutes in medium flame and enjoy with any spicy chutney or Sambar.
