Ragi Idlis

On World idli day,  we gave a little healthy twist to the regular idly by adding ragi (nachni)  to it.

Along with complete proteins, gut friendly bacteria, an attempt to make it iron rich too.
Ingredients
1 cup idli rice
½ cup urad dal (split)
¼ cup thick poha
¼ teaspoon methi seeds(fenugreek seeds)
1/2 cup ragi flour (nachni or finger millet flour)
Water for grinding as required
1 teaspoon salt or as per taste

Method
Rinse and soak rice and poha for 4 to 5 hours.

In another bowl rinse and soak urad dal and fenugreek seeds for 4 to 5 hours.

Grind the urad dal, methi seeds, rice & poha till you get a smooth and fluffy batter.

Add 1/2 cup ragi flour adjust the water amount depending on the consistency of the batter.

Mix very well cover the bowl with a lid and let it ferment overnight or for 8 to 9 hours. The batter will increase in volume.

Add salt, pour the batter in greased idli moulds, place the idli stand in the hot water in idli cooker and steam ragi idlis for 12 minutes.

You can also make ragi dosa or ragi uttapas.

Serve ragi idli with coconut chutney and veg sambar.

    Thanks for your post. My partner and i have constantly seen that a lot of people are desperate to lose weight since they wish to look slim along with attractive. Nevertheless, they do not always realize that there are additional benefits to losing weight also. Doctors claim that fat people come across a variety of illnesses that can be instantly attributed to the excess weight. The good thing is that people that are overweight as well as suffering from a variety of diseases can reduce the severity of their particular illnesses through losing weight. It’s possible to see a gradual but notable improvement in health while even a slight amount of fat reduction is reached.
