✅ Ingredients:
- 1 cup rice flour (fine)
- 1/2 cup jaggery or sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup grated coconut (optional)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda or Eno fruit salt
- 1 cup water (adjust for batter consistency)
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder (optional)
- Ghee or oil (to grease moulds)
🥣 Method:
- Prepare the batter:
In a bowl, mix rice flour, grated jaggery/sugar, and cardamom powder. Add water slowly to make a smooth, lump-free batter. It should be pourable but not too runny. - Add coconut (optional):
Mix in grated coconut if using. - Just before steaming:
Add baking soda or Eno and mix gently. You’ll see bubbles — don’t overmix. - Steam it:
- Grease small steel cups or idli plates.
- Pour the batter in and steam for 10–15 minutes on medium flame.
- Check with a toothpick — it should come out clean.
- Cool & serve:
Let it cool slightly before removing from the moulds. Serve warm or cold.
💡 Tips:
- You can flavor with vanilla, cinnamon, or even a touch of lemon zest for variety.
- Don’t over-steam — it can become dry.
- Perfect for kids’ lunchboxes or a light evening snack!
