MOONG DAL IDLY

MOONG DAL IDLY

This recipe is similar to Horse Gram Idly/Kollu idly, wherein instead of Horse gram, here we are adding Moong Dal.

INGREDIENTS:
Idly Rice - 3 parts
Whole Moong dal / Pachai payaru - 1 part
Urid dal - 1 part heaped
Salt to taste

METHOD:-

1. In Kollu idly, we grinded the batter in a mixer grinder. But here in  Moong dal idly, we grind the batter in a wet grinder.
2. Wash and soak idly rice and Moong dal for 4 hours. Wash and soak Urid dal for 45 minutes, that is, 45 minutes before grinding the batter.
3. In a wet grinder, first, grind the urid dal for 20 minutes ( like we grind for  Regular Idly). Restore the batter in a container. Now grind the Idli rice & Moong dal soaked together, coarsely, like fine Rava/sooji consistency. Transfer this batter to Urid dal. 
4. Add required salt and mix well using hands. This helps in the fermentation of the batter. After fermentation mix well-using spatula/karandi and refrigerate  it.  
5. Now the batter is ready for steaming Idlies.
