Bread Idli Recipe
Bread idli is a variation of the traditional South Indian breakfast dish called idli, which is made with a fermented batter of rice and lentils. In this version, bread is used instead of the traditional batter to make the idlis. Here is a Bread Idli Recipe at home:
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of white bread
- 1/2 cup grated coconut
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon chana dal (split bengal gram)
- 1 teaspoon urad dal (split black lentils)
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Remove the crust from the bread slices and cut each slice into small pieces.
- In a blender, combine the bread pieces, grated coconut, water, and salt and blend until a smooth paste is formed.
- Transfer the paste to a bowl and set aside.
- In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them pop.
- Add the chana dal and urad dal to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Add the green chilies to the pan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add the bread and coconut paste to the pan and stir to combine. Add the water and salt and stir again.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture has thickened and is no longer sticky.
- Preheat a steamer or idli maker. Grease the idli moulds with oil or ghee.
- Scoop a spoonful of the bread mixture into each mould and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
- Place the moulds in the steamer or idli maker and steam for 10-15 minutes or until the idlis are cooked through.
