Moong dal idli

Moong Dal Idli is a healthy twist on the traditional South Indian idli – soft, fluffy, and made without rice. It’s light, protein-rich, and perfect for breakfast or a quick meal.

Ingredients

Yellow moong dal – 1 cup,  Ginger – 1 tsp (grated),  Green chilli – 1 (finely chopped),  Curd – 2 tbsp,  Eno fruit salt – ½ tsp,  Salt – to taste,  Water – as needed,   (Optional: 2 tbsp semolina for texture)

Method

Wash and soak moong dal for 2-3 hours. Drain. Grind it with ginger, green chilli, and curd to make a smooth, thick batter. Add salt and mix well. Just before steaming, add Eno and mix gently. Pour into greased idli molds and steam for 10-12 minutes. Remove, cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar.
