Kushboo Idli


Idli is one of the most popular south Indian breakfast foods, without this no occasion will be completed. Some ten or fifteen years back these kushboo idli was very famous in wedding menu. I was not sure about this origin, but this named after a famous tamil actress Kushboo.
Kushboo idli is different than the regular idli it will be big and fluffy. Actually I started to try this before I started blogging, I tried this in different ratio and after couple times finally got this, when my idli turned good I was so excited. I tried this from priya’s feast.

Ingredients:

Raw rice (Pacha arusi)
2 cups
Urad dal
½ cup
Sabudana (javarusi)
¼ cup
Castor seeds (optional)
6
Baking soda
¼ tsp
 
 
 

 

Directions:
  1. Soak sabudana overnight, rice and urad dal together for 5-6 hours.
  2. Grind everything together with castor seeds (optional) until smooth batter.
  3. Add salt and mix well ferment for 10 hours.
  4. Add backing soda in teaspoon of water and mix this to the batter.
  5. Grease the idli molds and pour the batter in molds and steam cook for about 10 – 12 minutes.
  6. Serve hot with chutney and sambar.
 

Note:
  • Add baking soda only 10 minutes before you make idli.
  • If you don’t have idli mold don’t worry use any small cups or ramekins grease before use.
