Ragi idli is steam cake made up of rice, urad dal and ragi also called nachini aata. I have added some stir fried vegetables in ragi idli batter and hence called ragi vegetable idli. I have included it in my week plan for breakfast.
Ragi is a very good source of calcium and iron and suggested to give to the kids.I am sharing how I do it.

Steps

Prepare time 10 mins

1

Wash and soak urad dal and rice separately for 4-5 hours.
Remove excess water from the urad dal and grind it finely using less water, also remove the excess water from the rice and using less water, grind it a little thicker.
2

Mix rice paste, urad dal paste and ragi aata and prepare a thick batter without any lumps, keep it in a big bowl and leave it covered for 10-12 hours for fermentation.
Add baking soda and salt to the fermented batter. Add little water if mixture is too thick (make it like a cake batter).
3

Heat ghee in a kadahi. Add black mustard seeds and curry leaves. Stir fry all veggies for 2-3 minutes adding little salt on medium flame.
4

Mix cooked veggies in the fermented batter and add coriander leaves, green chillies and ginger. Put it in a steamer. Steam for 15-20 minutes and idlis are ready. Serve with coconut chutney and sambhar.
