Semiya Idlis
Semiya Idlis
Ingredients
2 cups semiya (can substitute angel hair pasta -- broken into one
inch pieces.)
3/4 cup rava
2 tbsp ghee
curd - enough for batter (homemade curd is preferable. slightly
fermented curd is even
better.)
2 - 3 green chillies (add more if you want to)
oil for seasoning and to grease idli mould.
salt to taste.
asafoetida (hing) - a pinch.
seasoning - mustard seeds, one red chilly, urad dal, chana dal,
curry leaves and some
pieces of cashewnuts.
Method
Heat one tbsp ghee in a pan and roast the rava till it is pink and
gives out a good aroma.
Take off the heat. Transfer onto another plate.
Heat the other tbsp ghee and fry the semiya or small pieces of pasta
till it turns pinkishred.
Careful that it does not burn. Take off the heat.
Mix the roasted rava and semiya / pasta in the curd. Add cut green
chilies, asafoetida and
salt. Add the seasoning, stir well and keep aside for a few minutes
-- 10 to 15 minutes will
do. If the batter becomes too thick, you can add some water or the
whey from the curd.
Grease idli mould and pour the batter. Steam as you would rice idlis
-- for about 15
minutes.
Serve hot with Coconut Chutney.
