I love to try traditional South Indian dishes with millet. I have posted those in my space before. This is yet another version of millet idli. This time it is with Foxtail millet. I have posted foxtail millet dosa before. However that recipe uses portion of normal rice. I wanted to try idli by replacing rice completely with Millet. It came out wonderfully. You can give it a try
Ingredients
Fox-tail millet/thinai arisi – 3 cups
Urad dhal – 1 cup
Methi/fenugreek seeds – 1tsp
Salt to taste(rock salt)
Wash and soak Foxtail millet separately for 6-8 hours or overnight. Wash and soak Urad dhal and methi seeds together for 6-8 hours or overnight.
Grind the urad dhal into nice foaming batter (I have used grinder but you can use mixie or blender, food processor). by adding water at regular interval ( this is very important to get fluffy batter and soft idli)
Grind foxtail millet with water
Add grinded urad dhal batter and salt. Grind it together for 2- 3 mins. Take out the batter and Let it ferment overnight or 6-7 hours
Grease the idli cooker or traditional idli maker. Pour the batter and let it cook for 10 mins or till wet tooth pick comes out clean
