how to make the idli batter
    how to make the idli batter
  1. Dry roast 1½ cups broken wheat (dalia) in a broad pan, till they are golden brown in colour. Dalia, also known as broken wheat, provides a unique chewy and slightly grainy texture compared to regular idlis made with rice.
  2. Remove and keep aside to cool completely.
  3. Once cooled, transfer it into a mixer jar, blend till coarse powder.
  4. In a deep bowl, combine the broken wheat powder.
  5. Add ¾ cup whisked curds (dahi). The slight stickiness of curd also acts as a natural binding agent in dalia idli batter. This helps the idlis hold their shape and prevents them from crumbling during steaming.
  6. Add the prepared tempering.
  7. Add 1½ cups of water.
  8. Add ¼ cup finely chopped onions. Onion bits bring a welcome textural contrast to the chewy dalia grains.
  9. Add ¼ cup finely chopped carrot. The vibrant orange color of carrots adds a pop of color and vibrancy to the dalia idlis.
  10. Add 3 tbsp finely chopped french beans. French beans imparts a subtle grassy flavour and crispness to the dalia grains.
  11. Add 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste. The combination of ginger and green chillies releases a vibrant, pungent aroma that instantly whets your appetite.
  12. Add 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania). 
  13. Add salt to taste.
  14. Mix everything well.
  15. Cover with a lid and keep aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
  16. After resting, the batter consistency will thicken a little.
  17. Just before steaming, add 1 tsp fruit salt. Fruit salt acts as a leavening agent, causing the idlis to rise slightly while steaming, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture compared to dense traditional idlis.
  18. Add 1 tbsp water over it.
  19. Mix it gently.
