Idli chutney

9 months and above babies and it is the famous breakfast in south india.
u need:
3 cups idli rice,
1 cup urad dal,
1 cup rice flakes( avalakki).
1 tsp salt,
1 tsp baking soda,
2 tsp oil,
1 cup water for grinding.
Method:
Wash  rice , urad dal and rice flakes 4 times. Soak everything separately for 6 to 8 hours. Grind urad dal and rice flakes together in a mixer or grinder , later grind the rice. Use less quantity of water and the batter should be fine with no lumps. Allow it rise overnight and in the morning add salt and soda in a spoon add water to it and put it on top of the batter and mix just 6 times. Don't mix the batter too much because it will make your idli hard.Now pour the idli batter to the oil greased plates and steam it for 15 mins.
Serve it hot with coconut chutney.
Kids just love this idli it is v soft and u can add ghee on top of it. For extra calories for children , not for diet conscious people. It can be served with sugar or sweet chutney. Chutney recipe I will upload soon.
The best idli I have eaten is in Madurai , Murugan idli it is v famous and it is just too good.
