Idli, Steamed Rice Cakes – A Super Healthy Breakfast & a Yummy Dish prepared in many homes in South India. This is one such breakfast we all are so proud of because of its Nutrient Values, Promotes Healthy Digestion, its Deliciousness & is enjoyed by everyone who eats it. Idli/Steamed Rice Cakes is an age old breakfast dish prepared regularly in Southern parts of India, it is considered a perfect, healthy breakfast to start our day. It is made of two different types of Rice, Dal (black gram dal/lentil) which is soaked in water & then ground into a batter. Then it is left in room temperature for 12-13 hours to ferment (rich in probiotics). After which it is mixed with salt & poured into small round moulds to steam. Once they are cooked, it is served with coconut chutney, sambhar (cooked dal). Please do try this recipe, it does take time to prepare the batter but the batter is usually made in large quantities as it can be stored for many days, we can take the required amount & store the rest until further use. The Idli/ Steamed Rice cakes are so soft & spongy that whatever curry/chutney/dal is served with it, the Idli/Rice cakes when dipped into it soaks it up well & when eaten gives a divine flavour. You have to give it a try. It goes great with Coconut Chutney, any Curry, Dal, Sambhar etc. The advantage of this dish is we prepare only as much as we need & store the rest of the batter in the refrigerator for 5-6 days until we need to prepare Idli/Steamed Rice cakes again. They can be made fresh & served hot, who does not love to wake up or come home to pipping hot Idlis/Rice Cakes.
