During my growing up years, I never liked idli, which we had nicknamed as 'white tablets'. But after marriage, idly featured in my breakfast twice in a week. Since there is no elaborate preparation provided you have the batter handy and breakfast for the family is ready in one batch. Here is an idli recipe from Chitra amma's kitchen.
Vermicelli – 2 cups
Beaten Curd – 1 cup
Green chillies – 3
Ginger – 1 inch wedge
Mustard seeds – ½ tsp
Oil – 2 tbsps
Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds. When it splutters, add finely chopped ginger,green chillies. Add the vermicelli and roast till it turns golden. Mix the roasted ingredients in beaten curd while warm. Add salt and mix well. Leave it for 10 minutes and spoon them into greased idly moulds. The batter consistency is slightly thick. Steam cook for 10-12 minutes. Serve with any chutney of your choice.
Variations: You can add some grated carrot/capscium/fresh corn too.
We enjoyed these idlis, which was a change from the usual semiya upma. Thanks Chitra amma for this tasty recipe.
