Usually people have Idli with Sambhar but as I don't like sambhar much, I added some different dips to have with my Idlis in the Lunch #agfoodseries

Steps

30-40 minutes

1

Wash rice and urad dal separately until the water runs clean and add methi seeds to the rice. Soak it in water for 4-6 hours. Soak the urad dal too for the same time. Drain all the water from the urad dal and grind it to a fine paste /mixture. Add water according to the need.
2

Grind the rice and urad to a thick paste and then mix both the pastes together in a large bowl and mix them well. Make sure that the consistency is thick.
3

The idli batter must be well-fermented. Doing this step is important to get soft and fluffy idlis. Keep the batter in a quite warm place to ferment well. Once the batter has risen, add salt to it and mix it well.
4

Apply oil on idli mould and take a appropriate amount of batter and fill the idli mould. Add ½ cup of water in the idli steamer and let it boil. Put the idli stand inside and close the lid. Let the steam build for 12-15 minutes before switching off the gas.
5

Wait a little for another 4-5 minutes and then use a sharp knife to scoop the idlis out.
6

For making badam chutney:- Heat oil in the pan, add the peanuts and fry till it's colour starts changing to brown.Fry for 4-5 minutes on low flame.
