Kodo Millet/Arikelu Idli and Chutney Podi, Health in a Plate

Rain washed banana leaf, hot idli with chutney podi. Health on a vibrant green plate. 
They are no different in taste or texture from rice idli. Inspiration for this from the fellow blogger Aarthi.



Recipe for the Kodo Millet Idli
2 medium servings or makes 10 idlies

Ingredients Idli
  • 1/2 cup urad dal
  • 1 1/2 cup  kodo millet/ Arikelu (some use 1:4 or 1:5 ratio of urad to millets)
  • 1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
  • 1/4 tsp  salt

Directions
  • Wash and soak urad dal, millets and fenugreek seeds for 10 hours or overnight. I do not soak them separately . I just soak them in the morning in the mixie jar itself. And leave it overnight after grinding in the same jar. Make the idli's and wash the jar. 
  • You can mix the salt while grinding or add it later before cooking. I prefer the later.
  • Grind into a fine paste with little water and leave it for fermentation overnight.
  • Add salt if required and steam the idli.
  • Serve with Sambar or chutney or podi.
