Ingredients

  • Ingredients :-
  • Raw rice – 2 cups
  • Cooked rice (preferabbly rosematta rice cooked ) – 1 cup
  • Grated coconut – 1 cup
  • Yeast – 1/2 tsp
  • Sugar – 1/4 cup or use it accordingly
  • Salt – a pinch
  • Roasted Cashews and Raisins – as needed (Optional)
  • Cardamom powder – a pinch (Optional :-Personally,I like it better without this)

Directions

  1. Soak the rice in water for 5-6 hours and drain it. Grind this with grated coconut,sugar and cooked rice adding just enough water to a smooth batter.Be careful while adding water,the batter should not be very watery,it has to be in the consistency of idly batter.Add the yeast and salt and mix well together.Cover it with a lid and keep it in a warm place for 8 – 10 hrs to ferment.

  2. Just before preparing,check for the sugar and also add cardamom powder if you’re using it.Gently stir it and keep it aside.Grease a flat pan or idly mould with little oil and spoon in the fermented batter.Top it with cashews and raisins.
