Ragi Idli Recipe

I had quite a few people asking me about the ragi idli recipe. 

Here it is . . .

Ingredients:

- Ragi (finger millet flour): 2 cups

- Raw rice (arwa chawal): 1/2 cup

- Bengal gram (urad dal): 1 cup

- Salt to taste

- Lukewarm water

Method:

- Soak the bengal gram and the raw rice separately for about 6 hours.

- Grind the bengal gram to fine paste. Keep aside.

- Grind the raw rice to a rough batter. It should not be very smooth, but should have enough water to mix the ragi flour in. 

- Mix the rice batter to the bengal gram paste. 

- Fold the ragi flour to the batter. It should not be mixed too much. Add enough water to get a smooth batter.  

- Pour the batter into idli moulds and keep in the idli cooker for 10 minutes. 

- The recipe makes about 24 medium sized idlis.
