Kuthiraivali Idli

Millets are a storehouse of health and nutrients. All the different varieties of millets are packed with goodness. Kuthiraivali also called as Barnyard millet is a rich source of iron and fibre, low in calories and has a low glycemic index making it suitable for diabetic patients.


Kuthiraivali Idli

I sometimes add some millets to my idli batter, this time I decided to make an full millet idli/dosa. My previous experience of millet idli is not good. I used to get hard idlis which was not palatable. This time I got some nice soft idlis for the first two days after grinding the batter and then I switched to making dosa. Although the idlis were not as soft and fluffy as my usual idlis made with rice, this idli was quite good and above my expectation. Do follow the steps to make a good idli batter.

Muttai Idli Upma

My husband made this dish one night, apparently he had seen this recipe in YouTube and he wanted to make it. I have only made plain idli upma, this seemed like a wonderful idea! You can have this as a breakfast or even as a snack. He made this with left over idlis from the morning.

Idli Batter in Mixee

My husband and my father in law are such big fans of idli from murugan idli kadai! Me not so much as I don't like idlies too much. But it is true that the idli from this shop is so soft and spongy that even a person like me, who is not fond of idli's, can be tempted to have some.
So when I came across this recipe (which claimed to be murugan idli kadai idli recipe), I wanted to give it a try. I'm sure no hotel will divulge their trademark recipe secrets and I'm also sure there is more to the softness of the hotel's idli than what we are using here. Having said that, this idli did come out quite soft. 
Of course, I still prefer my original recipe for soft idlis but if I want some idli batter quickly then I most definitely give this a go and it always works out well.
I made this in my mixee, you can make it in the grinder too. Probably the grinder will give an even more softer idlis.

Idli Dosa Batter | How to make Soft Idli

The most famous South Indian breakfast is the Idli! It is so simple in 'nature' but so good for health and tasty with a nice side dish. It is also one of the safest Indian dishes. My kids had idli's as one of their first solid food and I always turn to idli when someone is not well at home.


How to make Soft Idlis

Although it is such a simple food, this simple idli is the most fussiest food ever!! My biggest headache for a very long time, was to make soft idlis! I have tried many different recipes, proportions, tips and finally this is what worked for me and I settled on it. I got this recipe from here and here. 
Most recipes suggest to grind the rice and urad dal separately but I grind them together and it works well for me. 
Even if you come across a 'perfect' recipe for soft idli, you can master it only by trial and error. There are lots of factors that goes into making a soft idli and as you keep making it, week after week, you will perfect it and end up making soft idlis easily!!

Masala Idli

One of the frequent tea time dish in our house is either idli upma or this masala idli recipe. In most homes, there is always some idli left over everyday and this is a wonderful way to finish up the left over idlis. Very quick and simple to make and everybody loves it too. Also if there are days when your idli just doesn't come out well, you can very well make this dish. 

Check out the crispy baked idli which is also made with left over idli.

Instant Ragi Idli | Easy Ragi Idli Recipe

I have been looking to include Ragi in our diet, I do make a lot of millet based dishes but I have never been able to make a lot of ragi and kambu. When I came across this recipe, I wanted to try it out and I'm so glad it worked out well and my family likes it! This is an instant idli recipe and it is soft and tastes really good. I had 2 idli's left over and the next day I heated it in a microwave and it was still soft!


Instant Ragi Idli

The other ragi idli recipes I came across, involved grinding and fermenting the batter and I just did not feel like making those recipes. However, this is an instant idli recipe, easy to make and takes very little time to put together.

Ragi is called as finger millet in english, nachani in hindi and kezhvaragu in Tamil. It is a super food rich in calcium and iron and it's really good to include it in kids diet. I used homemade sprouted ragi flour. If using store bought, make sure you buy a good brand.

Idli Upma Recipe

Idli Upma is a simple and easy breakfast dish, usually made using left over idli's or idli that have turned out hard. It makes the boring idli interesting and desirable! I am not a fan of idli, only because I've had so much of it so any day I would prefer the idli upma over plain idli, whether it's made of fresh idli or left over hard idli's.
