Millets again…J can see vast millet recipes and these
millets are motivating us to do many more healthy recipes with it… I already
posted varagu/kodo millet idli and Cholam/Sorghum idli and dosa. Now, I have
prepared the millet idli with brown rice/kai kuthal arisi. It is full packed
and filling breakfast/dinner. The idly comes our very soft and fluffy. I can
see the airy texture of the idli easily and it tastes great.

INGREDIENTS
Varagu/Kodo millet – 2 Cup
Thinai/Foxtail millet – 2 Cup
Brown rice – 1 Cup
Whole black gram lentil,
skinned/Urad dal – 1 Cup
Fenugreek seeds – 1 Tsp
Salt – To taste
METHOD
- Wash and soak the urad dal and fenugreek together for 2-3 hours and soak varagu, thinai and brown rice separately for two hours.
- First grind the urad dal and fenugreek together with spreads of water till the batter turns fluffy and smooth.
- Then transfer into the vessel, and then add drained millets to the grinder.
- Grind it with spreads of water, till the batter become smooth.
- Now switch off the grinder, and transfer into the urad dal batter vessel, add enough salt and mix it well by your clean hands.
- Keep it in warm place 8-12 hours for fermentation.
- Then it’s ready to make idli or dosa.
- Pour batter in the idli plates and steam it for 8-10 minutes, check it whether it’s cooked or not.
- Serve it hot with your side dish.
- Then keep it in refrigeration for further use.
NOTE
- Don’t grind the millet and urad dal together, because it will not give soft and spongy idlies.
- Making idlies in cloth will give even more soft and fluffy.
- You can make very thin dosa with the batter.
- You can replace any other millet of your wish.
