Rajgira idlis

I have used Rajgira flour in making cookies and bread, but this time I really wanted to avoid all the sugar and butter which goes along with it while baking and use it in our daily food category. Hence tried making idlis with it and most of you would agree with me if I say most of the kids loves idlis. Its a best way to sneak in nutritious stuffs into their body. And as expected it did slide away smoothly into their palates and tummy. So here is the recipe for the same

Ingredients 

Urad dal - 1 cup

Idli rava- 2 cups

Rajgira flour- 1 cup

Method

Soak the dal for about 4-5 hours. Grind the dal in the grinder till it becomes smooth and fluffy. Meanwhile soak the rava in 2 cups of warm water for sometime till it absorbs the water. Mix the ground dal with the rava and rajgira flour and mix well adding more water to reach the consistency of the usual  idli batter. Close the vessel and let it ferment overnight , add salt to the batter , make idlis as usual. Serve hot with chutney or any side dishes of you choice. It doesnt taste much different from usual idlis and healthy too !
