We all love soft and spongy idlis. The traditional method requires hours of soaking and fermenting. Try this instant microwave recipe instead. Just as soft and delectable.

Ingredients

• 1 cup semolina (sooji or rava)
• 1 cup curd
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp Eno fruit salt or 1/2 tsp baking soda
• Salt to taste
• Oil for brushing

Instructions

• Dry roast the semolina till it is aromatic. Remove from fire and allow it to cool.
• Mix in semolina, curd, water, and salt to form a smooth paste. Let it stand for a minimum of 10 minutes so that the semolina can soak in the liquids.
• When ready to cook, add in 1 tsp of Eno fruit salt. Mix well stirring in one direction only.
• Fill in the water into the microwavable idli maker/ steamer to the desired level making sure it does not touch the idli mould.
• Grease the idli mould. Pour in the idli batter uptil three-fourths. This ensures that the idlis have space to rise.
• Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Let it stand for 5 minutes before removing it from the microwave.
• Demould the idlis and serve them hot with your favorite chutneys.

Notes

• If using a regular steamer, cook for 10-15 minutes until the idlis are cooked.
