Super Soft Idlis with Turmeric Leaf

I may not be able to eat chat everyday but always happy to eat idlis irrespective Im down with fever or jumping energetically! I do get bored with regular recipes and wanted to try something better and make it more mouth melting:-).

You may have used these ingredients before but a slight twist on how you use it will make that difference.

Ingredients

 3 cup rice ( i used sona masuri)

 1 cup urad dhal

 1 cup thick poha

 1/2 tspn methi seeds

 Salt to taste

How to make it

Get water in a big pot enough to soak the 3 cups of rice . Turn off the heat just before the water starts to boil. Please note that the water should NOT boil but you would turn of the heat just before it starts to boil and remove it from the stove top . Add the rice now and cover it and leave it for 7 hours.

Separately soak urad dhal+methi seeds and poha for 4 hours . I just did it at the same time as rice so I dont forget later :-).

After 7 hours, separately grind all the ingredients and mix well with salt to form a thick batter.

Let it ferment overnight.

Arrange the idli stand, pour the fermented batter on ghee smeared idli stand. Steam it for 16mins .I also used olive oil smeared turmeric leaves on the idli stand for some authentic healthy turmeric leaf idlis.

Tips: Grind it smooth, sometimes i also use this batter for making dosa.
