Namaste,
today we'll make chana dal tadka idli.
Very soft,
spongy and filled with vegetables,
with peanut and coconut chutney.
It is a very tasty breakfast,
you all will love it.
welcome NishaMadhulika.com
Let's start!
1/2 cup of chana dal,
1/2 cup of small rice.
Raw rice,
which are used to make idli.
Washed the both of them thoroughly
and soaked in water for 3-4 hours.
Take a jar,
put chana dal in the jar,
removed all of its water.
And rice.
If you want to soak them faster,
so wash them
and soak them in lukewarm water.
They will be ready in 2 hours.
And now pour 1/2 cup of curd in it.
If curd is a bit sour, it will go,
but it should not be too sour.
Now coarsely ground them.
It is grinded.
We have not used water at all while grinding them.
To make it more tasty and healthy, add some vegetables to it.
1/4 cup of finely chopped capsicum,
1/4 cup of chopped carrot,
1/4 cup of tomato
removed seeds and chopped.
1/2 inch of grated ginger,
2 green chilies
finely chopped,
removed it seeds, to make it less spicy.
A little less than 1 teaspoon of salt
or as per taste.
Mix them well.
To give it more taste, put a tadka on it.
Take a tadka pan,
2 teaspoons of oil,
heat it.
1/2 teaspoon of mustard seeds in hot oil.
Reduce the flame to low.
After mustard seeds crackle, add 1/2 teaspoon of urad dal.
Roast the dal till it turns light brown.
Dal's colour has changed,
do not make it too dark.
10-12 curry leaves,
chopped.
Turn off the flame
and put curry leaves in it.
Now put this tadka in the batter.
Mix it well.
Batter is ready, put it aside.
Take a vessel to cook idli.
Put a sieve stand in it.
Now pour some water in it,
approx 2-2.5 cups of water.
Turn on the flame.
Let it come to a boil.
We are making idlis in these small bowls.
You can take any bowl.
Grease them first.
Apply little oil to bowls like this.
They are greased.
At the end add eno fruit salt,
3/4 teaspoon
and mix it well.
You can add baking soda instead.
If you are adding baking soda
then take half of it.
Batter looks bloated,
fill the batter in the bowls.
We have filled the bowls.
The water we kept is boiling perfectly.
Place the bowls
in the vessel.
Now cover it
and cook it at medium flame for 12 minutes.
Till idli cooks,
let's make peanut coconut chutney.
Take a jar,
add 1/4 cup of roasted and peeled peanuts,
1/2 cup of grated fresh coconut.
To keep fresh grated coconut at home all the time,
for that whenever you get a coconut,
grate it and put it in the freezer.
So whenever you want to make chutney or something of coconut,
take it out and make it.
I have also taken this coconut out of the freezer.
2 green chilies,
cut them into half.
1/2 teaspoon of salt
or as per taste,
1 lemon
extract its juice in this bowl first,
to remove the seeds from the juice.
I've squeezed it less because it has a lot of juice in it.
Remove the seeds from it.
This juice is of approx 1.5 teaspoons.
Pour 1/4 cup of water in it.
You can add water later,
do not add too much water at once.
Now coarsely ground them.
Chutney is grinded,
take it out in a bowl.
Pour a little water in the jar and take out the remaining chutney.
The chutney is grinded.
Now check the idli.
It has been 12 minutes cooking the idlis.
See, how perfectly the idlis have cooked.
No need to check them, they cook perfectly within 12 minutes.
Turn off the flame.
Now take them out and let them cool down.
Now put tadka in chutney.
Take the same tadka pan
and add 1 teaspoon of oil to it.
Put 1/4 teaspoon of mustard seeds in hot oil.
Seeds have crackled,
6-7 curry leaves
and one whole red chilli.
Put this tadka in the chutney.
Mix them well.
The chutney is ready.
They have cooled down a little,
take them out after it cools down.
Remove from the edges first
and then take them out.
Look, how perfectly the idli has come out.
You can see the texture,
how spongy the idli is.
Take out all the idlis.
Idlis are cooked
and the chutney.
Chana dal tadka idli is ready
and it is ready to be served.
They look so tempting,
are much more great in taste.
This single idli is so heavy in itself,
that if you are very hungry,
eat two idlis with chutney,
you will be full.
You won't face any problem in making them.
Just remember,
remove all the water from soaked chana dal and rice.
Coarsely ground them.
Add all the ingredients in the batter,
mix everything first
and then add eno fruit salt at the end.
To cook idli, let the water boil nicely.
Then put bowls in the vessel.
Cover and cook it for 12-14 minutes.
You will make very good idlis.
You must make it
and share your experiences with me.
And let me know what should I make next for you.
