In the hustle and bustle of life and routines, it's the planned stuff like making pre-preparations for meals that get skipped. That's when super easy "instant" recipes are so handy.
Idly is one of those traditional South Indian dishes that typically needs soaking, grinding and fermentation, all of which needs a few days before actually making the Idlies! So when I tried this amazing instant recipe that results in soft, fluffy Idlies I'm tempted to use it in place of the traditional recipe all the time!
Here it is, my version of the Instant Cucumber Idly:
Ingredients for about 16 Idlies: 1 cup Idly rice rava, 1/2 cup grated Cucumber (with skin), 1/4 cup descicated coconut, 1/4 cup yogurt, 1 tsp grated ginger, chillies if desired, salt to taste, water.
Make:
1. Mix 1 cup Idly rice rava, 1/2 cup grated Cucumber, 1/4 cup yogurt, 1 tsp grated ginger, chilli if desired, salt, water. Make a smooth batter.
