Ingredients
- 3 cups rice, uncooked
- 1 cup black lentils, uncooked, split without skin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Preparation
- Soak rice and lentils in water. Grind the lentils in a food processor or liquidizer to a smooth paste.
- Grind rice not too fine, a little coarse. Mix the two pastes and add salt. Let the batter ferment for 12-14 hours at a warm place (avoid the inside of the oven or on top of a gas stove).
- Just before cooking, add the baking soda. Steam idlis on idli moulds. Serve with sambar.
Helpful hints
- Lentils contribute extra potassium and phosphorus, so portion must be limited to 2 rice idles.
- Sambar is a vegetable stew containing pigeon peas, tamarind, vegetables and ground spices. It is very popular in southern India.
- Serve with cilantro chutney or with a dollop of butter topped with a spoon of sugar.
