Iddli is one good breakfast containing proteins

and nutrients .Doused with sambhar and

chutney it’s the favourite and oil free breakfast

of South India .

Recent culinary experts have tried their hands

in creating different types and shapes of iddlis

( I too have posted few varieties of iddli).

which is to be appreciated.

Today’s recipe is another recipe I found healthy

and tasty .

The recipe is too simple !

Here’s to the nutritious breakfast recipe!

2 cups iddli batter*

Half cup fresh green peas

Half cup green gram sprouts

1 tsp pepper

1-2 green chillies

•Excluding the iddli batter ,grind the rest of the

ingredients to a very coarse paste .

•Mix the ground paste into the batter.

Tip : When you grind the iddli batter,add

coconut water in place of water for grinding.

Use ice water for grinding.

IDDLI / DOSA BATTER*

•1 cup urad dal ( washed and soaked with 1

tsp fenugreek seeds for minimum 2 hours)

minutes before starting to grind )

Adding poha is optional

Method

•Wash and soak in separate bowls.

•After 2 hours grind the urad dal first fine .

•Remove the ground urad dal into a

container .

•Next grind both the rice ( do not add much

water).till it looks like fine semolina.

•Remove and mix with the ground urad dal.

as the batter will froth and rise and may

spill over after fermentation.
