Idli And Chutney

Idli And Chutney - Vijaya Shenoy

Idli:

1cup urad dal 

21/2 cups medium rava 

Wash and soak urad dal in water for 3-4 hrs and then grind into a smooth batter like that for idli. 

Meanwhile steam rava in a closed vessel in the cooker for 10 min.( do not put the cooker weight) 

Remove,allow it to cool.then sprinkle just enough water to wet the rava.

mix this with the ground dal ,add salt and allow to ferment for 8-10 hrs.

grease idli moulds and steam for 10-12 min. 

Chutney: 

Grind together 1 cup grated coconut,2-3 green chillies,1/2" ginger and a small bit of tamarind.when almost done add 3-4 sprigs of coriander leaves and salt and just run the mixi once. Imp.pt. do not wash the rava .and if u r using roasted rava u may not get the same results. We steam the rava so that idli does not become sticky.
