Idli is a popular South Indian dish that is enjoyed as a breakfast or snack item. It is a type of steamed rice cake made by fermenting a batter consisting of rice and black lentils (urad dal). The batter is typically soaked, ground, and fermented overnight, which gives idli its characteristic soft and fluffy texture.<br /><br />Ingredients<br />1/2 cup Split Chickpea Lentils<br />1/4 cup Split Black Gram Lentils<br />1 tbsp Oil<br />1/4 cup Peanut<br />Tamarind<br />7 Garlic Cloves<br />1 cup Fresh Coconut (grated)<br />1 tbsp Oil<br />10-12 Kashmiri Red Chillies<br />1 1/2 tsp Salt<br />1 tsp Sugar<br />1 cup Idli Batter<br />1/2 tsp Salt<br />Oil (for Greasing)<br />Water (for steaming)<br />1 cup Spinach (Chopped)<br />100 gms Paneer (crushed)<br />1/2 tsp Black Pepper Powder
