Gothambu Idli recipe

Wash and soak urad dal and fenugreek seeds separately for 5 hours. Wash and soak rice and whole wheat in a bowl for 5 hours. Grind dal in a blender adding very little water at a time. Remove this to a bowl. In the same blender, add rice and wheat and grind till smooth. Add this to the urad dal, add salt and mix well till combined.

Cover and leave this to ferment for 8 hours or overnight. Now mix it gently.

Scoop the batter into an idli plate . Place in steamer and steam for 10-12 minutes on medium flame or till a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Finally, soft idlis are ready to serve along with chutney and sambar.
