Samai Idli – Little millet Idli – Healthy breakfast recipe – Steamed Indian pancake for healthy breakfast

These days I love to try new recipes with millets.  In the past whenever I visit India I do pack some millet varieties. So it will last couple of months for me. But these days we do get most of the millets if not all in Singapore. So I try to include it at least twice a week into our dinner. Even though Idli is made for breakfast back home in my household I make it more for dinner. As kids used to western breakfast. Now over to the recipe
Ingredients:


Samai / Little Millet – 2 cups
Idli rava – 2 cups
Urad dhal – 3/4 cup
Fenugreek seeds – 1/2 teaspoon
Salt to taste



Method:


Wash and soak Little Millet, Idli rava, Fenugreek seeds together and urad dhal separately for 6 hours or overnight. 

Grind little millet, idli rava together.  Grind Urad dal till fluffy with required water. Add back the urad dhal and grind together with salt for 1 min. 

Ferment the batter for 7-8 hours or overnight

      Rava used here is broken idli rice not Semolina or rava.. If you don't have Rice Rava you can use idli rice 1.5 cup
