Red Carrot Idli

Red carrot Idli is an amazing healthy twist for our very own basic rava or rice idlis. It is very simple, light and very nutritious breakfast option to have along with hot sambar or coconut or tomato chutney.

Nutritional Benefits:

Rice serves as an instant source of energy. Urad dal is rich in fibre, both soluble and insoluble, which is known to improve our digestion and help to manage Diabetes. Thus it is healthy to consume. Carrot is a rich source of Vitamin A and fibre. Its consumption is linked to improved vision and decreased cholesterol levels.

Ingredients:

  • 20 grams rice
  • 10 grams urad dal
  • 20 grams grated carrot
  • 10 grams onion (finely chopped)
  • 10 ml of plain curd
  • Salt as per taste
  • 1 teaspoon of oil

Method:

  • Wash the rice and dal separately. Soak them, in enough water overnight.
  • Drain the rice and with little water, blend them to a coarse paste in the mixer.
  • Drain the dal and again add water little by little, blend it to a fine paste. While the rice paste is coarse, the lentil paste is very fine. Grind it till there are bubbles in the paste.
  • Then add curd to it and add water to adjust the consistency.
  • Then add in salt. This batter should be of thick consistency. Keep the batter in a warm place for 8-10 hours (or overnight). The batter will rise and become sour.
  • Once the batter is fermented and add grated carrot and onion.
  • Gently mix the batter once. Don’t mix it vigorously or too often as it would remove all the air in the batter. Rub a little oil on each of the idli moulds.
  • Fill in the batter in each mould. Place the idli stand in the steamer and steam on for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove the steamer from heat and let it stand for 5 minutes. Open and remove the idlis from the mould with a knife.
  • Serve hot with chutney or sambar.

Over to you:

Red carrot idli is thus very light, easy to make and a very healthy breakfast option to try upon. Have them with hot sambhar or your favorite chutneys.
