IngredientsCorn Meal - 11/2cups
Urad dal -1/2 cup
Methi seeds - 1teaspoon
Salt
Method
Wash the corn meal gently and soak it for 3-4 hours.
Combine urad dal and methi seeds, rinse them and soak for 3-4 hours.
Grind the urad dal and methi seeds with enough water. (as you do for making idli batter). Finally add the soaked corn meal(with out water), and grind for a couple of minutes.
Add enough salt, keep it aside over night or at least 8 hours. (Time may vary according to the temperature in your area)
Fermented batter will look like this..light n fluffy, with lot of air bubbles. Heat water in the steamer, pour the batter in the greased idli plates, fill the batter and steam it for 8 to 10 minutes.
Corn meal idli is ready to serve. I have used my egg poacher to make the idlies n got these cute shapes. :) These idlies will be more or less has the same texture and taste as Rava Idlies. Serve them with your choice of chutney/sambar/ idli podi.Recipe Source : Here

ReplyDeletePunitha, Deepa, Nalini, PT, Divya, Shoba, Julie, Leela, Renuka, Priya, Spice up the Curry, thank you very much for your lovely comments.
ReplyDelete@ Renu, am not sure whether corn meal is available there. Check in some big supermarkets..they might have it. Sorry I couldn't help you much in this regard. Or, try it with normal rava! :) thanks for stopping by!
@ Leela chechi, the texture of these idlies are just like the regular rava idlies..you can make the tempering as we do for the rava idlies as well. Even am not a big fan of corn, but these idlies are worth a try! :) thanks for the comment!
