Moong Dal Idlis without rice (Steamed Lentil Cakes)

Healthy version of idlis for those who avoid rice. Diabetic friendly , this batter does not call for rice in the recipe.

My first recipe from the idli repetoire…….

Ingredients:

Moong dal – 2 cups

Udad dal – 1/2 cup

Grated carrots – 1/2 cup

Coriander leaves – 1 sprig chopped

Roasted cashews – 10

Eno fruit salt – 1/2 tsp

Seasoning:

Mustard seeds- 1 tsp

Curry leaf – 1 sprig

Preparation:

Soak 2 cups moong dal and 1/2 cup urad for 3 hrs and grind and add salt. Ferment it overnight and add grated carrots, cashewnuts and coriander leaves. Season with mustard, curry leaf and add to the batter. Add 1/2 tsp of eno and pour it into idli moulds and steam for 12 minutes. Add eno just before steaming the batter and do not keep for a long time.

Note: You must add eno for making these idlis. I fermented the batter and added 1/2 tsp of eno.
