Coconut idli (Soyi Sandan/Sannan)

(from Nandini’s recipe box)

Categories: Idli

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut
  • 1 cup rice rava/sooji or idli rava
  • 1 small piece of tamarind or 1/4 tea spn tamarind extract
  • A pinch asafoetida
  • 3-4 red chilies
  • 1 tbl spn jaggery
  • Salt

Directions

  1. Grind coconut with tamarind, red chilies, asafoetida and jaggery to a coarse paste without adding a lot of water. Add rava, salt and mix well. Grease a cooker vessel with oil and transfer the coconut mixture to it.

  2. Steam in a cooker for around 12-15mins like idlis(without weight). Serve with coconut oil (I served it with chutney).

  3. Serves: 2-3

  4. Preparation time : 20mins

  5. PS: You can also soak rice and grind it to coarse powder and use it. I use the rice rava to make this fast.
