Idlis Recipe Using Microwave Idli maker (How to make Idlis at home)

Sometimes when I want a quick healthy snack, I prepare Idlis (South Indian Rice Cakes.) Now during most of those times I usually have batter on hand. I prefer making Idli-dosa batter in bulk (put it in the freezer in small portions) and prepare fresh, soft idlis as per requirement.

In the recipe video I demonstrate how to use Microwavable Idli Maker to make Idlis at home.

All you need for the batter is Rice (any kind is fine...don't be stereotypical and go for idli rice only.), Urad Dhal, Fenugreek seeds and salt.
The ratio for rice: Urad Dhal for the batter is 4:1
Process is a little lengthy but so worth it..not to mention healthy as well. Begin by soaking rice, dal and Fenugreek seeds for 4-5 hours. After soaking grind them and then add 1 tsp salt and let the batter ferment for atleast 8 hours.. longer in colder regions. Once the batter is ready, refrigerate it. Stays fresh for 3-5 days or freeze it for upto 3 months in small batches and make Dosa's and idli's when required. Alternatively you can also make Dosa's and Idli's and freeze them..although fresh are the best.

To make idlis, simply put batter in the idli mould and steam for 4-5 mins in the microwave. Serve Idlis with Sambhar, Coconut Chutney or Tamarind Chutney.
