(from Nandini’s recipe box)

Categories: Idli

Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • Chana daal 1/2 cup
  • Moong daal(yellow) 1/2 cup
  • Onion(cut into small pieces) 3/4 cup
  • Green chilies 4-5
  • Ginger 2″ piece
  • Dill leaves(sabbasige soppu/shepi bhajji) 1/2 cup
  • Coriander leaves 2-3 strands
  • Coconut(fresh or frozen) 3/4 cup
  • Salt
  • Increase or decrease the amount of dill leaves according to taste.

Directions

  1. Soak daals in water for 3-4hrs (preferably overnight).

  2. Grind them along with green chilies, ginger, 1/4 cup onion, 1/4 cup coconut into a coarse paste without adding water.

  3. Mix remaining onion, coconut and the leaves, add salt and mix well.

  4. Keep this mixture in idli molds and cook in cooker(for two whistles). This can also be steamed like normal idlis but takes longer time due to the two daals.

  5. Serve with chutney. This can be eaten without any chutney since it already has all the spices and onions.

  6. Serves : 2-3

  7. Preparation time : 25mins
