Suji Idli

Idli is a traditional dish that is believed to have originated in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is a staple food in South India and is also popular in other parts of India and abroad.

The batter for idli is prepared by soaking rice and urad dal separately and then grinding them together with water to make a smooth batter. The batter is then fermented overnight or for at least 6-8 hours, allowing it to rise and become fluffy.

The fermented batter is then poured into special idli moulds and steamed for about 10-15 minutes until cooked. The cooked idlis are then served hot with chutney, sambar, or any other accompaniment of your choice.
