Main Course

Idli In Microwave

Straightforward Kerala cooking — good ingredients treated well, spiced with confidence, and served without pretence. The kind of food that tastes like someone's kitchen, not a restaurant.

Ingredientsfor 2 servings

1 cup Rice
1/2 cup Urad Daal
Salt for taste
Coconut oil for greasing

Preparation

Step 1
Soak Urad Daal and rice separately for 6-8 hours after washing it.
Step 2
Grind both smoothly after adding little water and keep it in a place overnight to ferment. :-If the mixture is (rice and urad daal) properly fermented we can make fluffy idli. So decent fermentation is important.
Step 3
The coming day beat up the batter (mixture of rice and urad daal) well adding little water (if necessary) and salt for taste.
Step 4
Get the Microwave friendly Idli steamer and apply coconut oil in the idly dents. :-This step is to smoothly take away Idlis after making it.
Step 5
Fill the Idly dents with batter and Pour 3 to 4 table spoon of water into the Idly steamer pot.
Step 6
Close the container and microwave it for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Fluffy Microwave Idlis are ready!

Tip

Do not rush the onion and shallot frying. The difference between pale onions and properly browned onions is the difference between a flat dish and a flavourful one.
