South Indian delicacy - Idli : A Fermented steamed rice cake
Idli is a steamed rice cake originated in the Indian subcontinent and mostly a part of breakfast but also served in lunch and dinner. Traditionally Idli is made by fermenting the batter but nowadays so many quick recipes are also popular. Idli made by traditional method is the most delicious and healthy. It takes about 16-20 hours to prepare the batter. Making a perfect batter is the most important to make it delicious.
In my last post Dosa "a fermented pancake" : An authentic south Indian dish I described the procedure to make the batter for dosa and the same batter can be used to make idli.
It needs molds to make idli which is greased with oil and cooked in steam for about 15-20 minutes.
Once it is cooled down idli is de-mold and served hot with Sambar and Coconut Chutney
I like south Indian idli. Photos looks wonderful.
That is a long time to prepare your meal but it's absolutely fine if it taste delicious! 😊 what is the sauce that you use for serving Idli?
There is an instant recipe available but this is a traditional recipe which is extremely healthy and delicious. Idli is served with coconut or onion-tomato chutney(sauce) or with sambar.
Every Indian loves idli it's best meal for breakfast.
