Healthy Idly powder

INGREDIENTS:

Horse gram or kollu- 1/2 cup
Black sesame seeds- 1/2 cup
Urad dal with skin- 1/2 cup
Red chillies- 20 or as spicy as needed
Rock salt or iodized salt- To taste
Curry leaves- A good handful
Black pepper-Optional
Asafoetida- To taste

PROCEDURE:


  • In a pan, dry roast all the ingredients one by one till aromatic smell comes and allow to cool completely.
  • After turning off stove, add asafoetida powder.
  • In a mixer, first add red chillies and curry leaves and grind finely. Then add the other ingredients one by one and grind to the consistency you like. I like my idly powder a little coarse and not very fine. I didn't add pepper but people who like pepper taste are welcome to add some.
  • Enjoy with some hot ghee or sesame oil with idly/dosa/oothappam.
