Description

Soak 1 glass of channa dhal & 1 glass of moong Dhal for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Drain the water and grind into a rough paste along with sufficient salt. Avoid adding water. But, if you cant grind without it, add very little water. The paste should be ROUGH. Grease a dish. Add the thick batter into the dish and steam it in pressure cooker for 15 minutes. (Ensure not to put the whistle – should just steam like how you do for Idlis).

After 15 minutes, take the cooker off the heat, open it and allow the ingredients to cool for 5 minutes. Take a big try, powder the steamed idli well spreading it into the tray. Allow it cool well for another 5 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan. Splutter mustard. Add slit green chillies, curry leaves, one spoon Channa Dhal, one spoon Udad Dhal, one pinch of turmeric powder. Once channa dhal & udad dhal turn golden brown, add the steamed & powdered mixture. While mixing well, add lemon juice, fresh coriander leaves & grated coconut for seasoning. Mix well in medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes. Take off heat. Serve hot.
