Hominy Grits Instant Idlis Recipe
A very simple to prepare and healthy recipe to prepare instant idlis using corn grits.
Ingredients
Ingredients For The Batter:
- 1 And ½ Cups Grits
- 1 And ½ Cups Yogurt
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2 Medium Size Grated Carrots
- Handful Frozen Peas
- 1 Teaspoon Grated Ginger
- As Per Taste Salt
Ingredients For Tempering:
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Urad Daal
- 1 Teaspoon Channa Daal
- 10 Cashews Broken Into Small Pieces
- ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
- A Pinch Hing
Instructions
- Dry grind the grits in a blender to the consistency of regular rava/sooji.
- Combine together all the ingredients listed for the batter. Add water if necessary to get the consistency of idli batter.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and add the items to be tempered one by one and pour this in the batter and mix it well.
- Grease the idli moulds (on both sides) using a non stick oil spray and fill with batter. I also grease the back because the batter from the lower plate does not stick to the top plate and you will be able to get full idlis.
- Steam the idlis for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- I prepared the idlis 1 hour after preparing the batter. But I guess that it's not necessary, because rava idlis can be prepared as soon as the batter is ready.
