Protein idli with lentils

Idli is always a healthy food. When lentils and grams are added in the batter it becomes super healthy.

Good for all ages. Easily digestible. If served with Bengal gram curry it becomes a little bit heavy, delicious and nutritious. 

Take the idli cooker, brush oil on the idli stand and pour the batter on it. Steam cook the idli for 7-10 minutes. Run a tooth pick into the idli. If it comes out clean, idli is cooked. Allow to cool down. Take out the idli. Serve with Bengal gram potato curry for a change. The common side dishes are sambar and chutney. 

How to prepare the batter?

Idli rice 11/2cups,  urd dal 1/2 cup, 

Bengal gram, green gram, yellow split peas 1/4 cup each,

Fenugreek seeds 2 tbsp., 

Wash the ingredients thoroughly and Soak these ingredients for 6 hours. 

Drain out the water and grind it into a smooth batter. Add 7 soaked red chilli and 2 tsp. cumin seeds before finishing the grinding. Keep the batter for 3-4 hours.
