Idli-from-Pesarattu-Dough

#IdliFromPesarattuDough : I prepared pesarattu dough for breakfast. But I felt lazy to make them on a tawa one by one. So I changed my mind and added a variety of chopped vegetables and steam cooked it in an idli maker. The final outcome was a tastier & colorful tiffin and of course healthier too.

Pre Preparation Time            : 2 Hours

Preparation Time                  : 10 - 15 Mins

Cooking Time                       : 10 Mins

No. of Idlies                          :  6 - 8

Ingredients :
To Grind :
1 cup	Green gram split with skin
1 Tbsp	Raw Rice [ Pacharisi ]
1/2 Tsp	Salt
To add with dough :
1/4 cup	Carrot nicely chopped
1/4 Cup	Banana stem nicely chopped
1/4 cup	Capsicum nicely chopped
15 - 20	Curry leaves, tear into pieces
1	Onion, chop nicely
3 Tsp	Coriander chopped
7 - 8	Mint, chop nicely
2 Tsp	Ginger finely chopped
1 Tsp	Green chilly finely chopped
1/2 Tsp	Black pepper crushed
1/4 Tsp	Salt [ Adjust ]

A teaspoon of oil to grease idly plate.

Method :

Soak green gram split with skin and rice in a vessel for 2 hours after cleaning well.

Grind into a smooth dough using a mixer grinder.

Transfer into a big vessel.

 Add salt and Mix well.

Add all the chopped ingredients and mix well.
Adjust salt.

Heat an idly maker on a stove with 3 cups of water.
Grease idly plate or steamer plate with oil.
Divide the dough into equal parts and keep on the greased idly plate.
Steam cook for 8 - 10 minutes or until the dough mix gets cooked.

Check by inserting a clean knife into a cake whether the cake has been cooked at the center.
When you pull out the knife it should come clean without any dough sticking to it.
If dough found sticking to the knife, cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.

This is a tasty and healthy breakfast and also an evening tea time snack.

No need of an accompaniment to relish.

If at all you would like to have with a chutney then Mint dip would be an ideal choice.
