Ingredients
1.5 cups idli rice
3/4 cup urad dal
1/2 tsp peppercorns
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp chopped ginger
Curry leaves
1 tsp ghee (optional)
Tips
1. You can add grated carrots, peas, etc to the idli.
2. Batter should be ground coarsely.
Method
Soak the dal and rice together for 2-3 hours.
Grind coarsely. I had to grind it for only 10 minutes in the grinder. Add salt and asafoetida and keep it in a warm place to ferment.
In the same pan fry ginger and curry leaves.
Add the pepper-cumin mixture, ginger and curry leaves to the fermented batter. Add a tsp of ghee if using.
Mix well.
Ready for steaming. Steam in pressure cooker (no weight valve) or idli cooker for 10 minutes.
Idli’s are done.
Tasty and fluffy Kanchipuram idli ready to be had with chutney and sambar.
Enjoy!
Absolutely delish!! Makes me hungry and miss home!!

Yummy idlis!!!
Your idlis look so good and perfect..I am craving idlis after seeing this post…yum yum!!
This combo just rocks.
We use urad dal and idli rice in the same ratio as you mentioned for even regular idlis. Is there any reason for grinding the batter coarsely?
lovely idlis, love to have for breakfast..
I have heard of this.. But never tasted or tried.. Ur Idlis look soft and spongy. Nice clicks..But usually Dhal and Rice are ground seperately.. Will grinding both together give good results?
Soft and delicious…looks superb..
Delicious looking idlis and chutney. Excellent combination.
