STEAMED RICE CAKES IDLI<br />

A perfect protein!<br />

Main Meals<br />

Idlis are simple, easy to digest and although plain quite sublime, especially served<br />

with samba or soup, coconut chutney and/or date sauce and/or spicy vegies.<br />

You will need an egg poacher or idli steamer.<br />

Wash the rice and dahl separately, cover with water and soak overnight.<br />

Drain, add enough water to blend to a thick but fine paste.<br />

Add the salt, let sit until the volume doubles by fermentation<br />

(up to 8hrs in summer and longer in the winter)<br />

You can add a chaunce with cashews to the batter for added flavour<br />

Mix the batter with pepper, add to a greased idli steamer, steam for 15-20 minutes.<br />

Serve Hot, with all the goodies at your disposal!<br />
