Multi grain batter




Ingredients:
  1. Boiled rice - 4 cups
  2. Ragi - 1cup
  3. Millet - 1 cup
  4. Urad dhal - 1 cup
  5. Fenugreek seeds- 2 tsp
  6. Poha- 1/2 cup

Wash and soak

  • Wash rice well and soak in water (Min 4 hrs)
  • Wash ragi and soak in water ( min 6 hrs)
  • Wash millets and soak in water ( min 4 hrs)
  • Wash dhal well, add fenugreek and soak in water (Min 4 hrs)
  • Soak poha

Grind

  • Grind dhal first, until it becomes super soft
  • Add ragi and millets
  • Add rice to it, keep grinding
  • Add poha grind until entire mixture becomes soft

Ferment

  • Transfer content to a vessel and allow it to ferment
  • Fermentation can happen in few hours to a day
  • After fermentation the batter raises on top

TIPS:

  1. Softer the batter is, softest the idlies and dosas are!
  2. More soaking, lesser time for grinding ( I soak over night and grind in the morning)
  3. I transfer grind ed batter to two vessels, immediately keep one inside fridge and other outside. Ferment it only when required when the first vessel is emptied.


Tastes yummy with chutney/ sambhar
