Ingredients

  • proso millet idli rava — 2 cups
  • black gram (urad) dal — 1 cup
  • water (as required, for soaking and grinding)
  • salt (to taste)

Method

  1. Soak the urad dal in water for 4 to 6 hours. Drain, grind into a batter and set it aside.
  2. At the same time, soak the proso millet rava in a bowl for 30 minutes, then drain.
  3. Stir the rava into the dal batter and leave it to ferment overnight.
  4. Once fermented, add salt and mix well.
  5. Pour into greased idli moulds and steam for 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.

Tips

  • General practice: in cold weather the batter may need longer, or a warmer spot, to ferment.
