Making idlis from idli premix is quite simple. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Ingredients:
- Idli premix
- Water
- Oil or ghee (for greasing)
2. Instructions:
a. Mixing:
- Take the required quantity of idli premix in a bowl.
b. Adding Water:
- Gradually add water to the premix while stirring continuously. The mixture should be smooth and without lumps. The consistency should be similar to a thick pancake batter.
c. Resting Time:
- Allow the batter to rest for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the ingredients to blend well.
d. Preparing the Steamer:
- Meanwhile, fill the idli steamer or a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
e. Greasing the Molds:
- Grease the idli molds with a little oil or ghee. This prevents sticking.
f. Pouring the Batter:
- Pour the batter into each mold, filling it to about 3/4th full. Leave some space for the idlis to rise.
g. Steaming:
- Place the molds in the steamer and cover with a lid. Steam on medium heat for about 10-12 minutes.
h. Checking for Doneness:
- To check if the idlis are done, insert a toothpick or a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, the idlis are ready.
i. Cooling and Serving:
- Allow the idlis to cool for a couple of minutes. Use a knife or spoon to gently remove them from the molds.
j. Serve:
- Serve the idlis hot with chutney, sambar, or any accompaniment of your choice.
Remember to follow the instructions on the idli premix packet, as different brands might have slight variations. Enjoy your homemade idlis!
