Ragi Idli ఇంత బాగా వస్తాయని అస్సలు అనుకోలేదు! #shorts #ragiidli #fingermilletrecipe

Ragi idli is a nutritious and wholesome South Indian breakfast dish made from finger millet (ragi) and urad dal (black gram). This steamed cake is a variation of the traditional idli, which is typically made from rice and urad dal. Ragi, known for its high calcium and iron content, adds a distinct earthy flavor and a brownish hue to the idlis.

Ingredients:
Ragullu (Finger millet) 1cup
Urad dal 1/2cup
Rice 1/4cup
Fenugreek seeds (optional) 1/4tsp
Salt
Water

Preparation:
Soaking and Grinding: Soak Finger millet, urad dal, rice and fenugreek seeds (if using) for a few hours, then grind them into a smooth batter. Mix this with ragi flour and water to achieve a thick, smooth consistency.

Fermentation: Allow the batter to ferment overnight or for 6-8 hours until it doubles in volume and becomes airy.

Steaming: Pour the fermented batter into greased idli molds and steam them for about 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through.

Serving:
Ragi idlis are typically served with chutneys (coconut, tomato, or coriander) and sambar, a lentil-based vegetable stew. They are enjoyed for their health benefits and make a great addition to a balanced diet.
