  • 200 gm unpolished rice
  • 100 gm semolina of wheat (suji)

  • 25 gm moong lentil, freshly sprouted
  • 3 gm black peppercorns

• Method:
  • Take unpolished rice in a bowl and wash them thrice. Now tie them in a cloth for about 10-12 minutes.
  • Spread out the rice in sunlight to let them dry completely. Then pound it to a coarse powder.
  • Beat the rice, semolina, yoghurt, freshly crushed pepper and sea salt together well with a whisk and leave for 1 1/2 hour.
  • Add on some water and beat again. The mixture should be moderate, as in neither too thin nor too thick.
  • Wet pieces of muslin and place then over each idli mould.
  • Pour the idli batter on idli moulds and scatter moong sprouts on it.
  • Put water into a steamer, add on the spices and boil for five minutes.
  • Return to medium heat, place the idli moulds in position and steam for 8-10 minutes.
  • To check if the idlis are properly cooked or not, put a toothpick inside the idli and if it comes out neatly, then your idlis are ready to be served.
