Fermented flour idli dosa

 

Hi all..Today I m here to share with u a very very useful recipe. It's EASY FERMENTED IDLI DOSA RECIPE WITH FLOUR..

Idli is one of the common breakfast recipes of Tamil Nadu, and loved by almost everyone..Smooth n soft yummy idlis will make ur tummy so happy..But, what about the making process?? Huhh..Every weekend, open the grinder, grind for a few hours, store the batter in large vessels, dump in the refrigerator, serve n eat the unhealthy refrigerated cooked batter, is it?? Hi fi..This is what me too have been doing so far before a couple of years..

But, believe me, I haven't used my grinder or fridge for more than 1.5 yrs for idli dosa batter!! Yes..Flour idlis serve as a very very good alternative for the batter idlis..The first reason for me to switch over to flour idlis is, the health consciousness..Keeping the batter in a refrigerator and cooking it for at least a week is completely unhealthy n it is sad that many of us were not aware of it n hence we followed it for several years..Since already I was reducing the refrigerator consumption step by step, I decided to stop grinding large amounts of batter..

The second reason is, of course grinding batter spoils my weekend..When u r working somewhere n u badly need a weekend to take rest n have some me-time n njoy with ur family, grinding the batter on sunday evening gives u more tension..So, for these 2 main reasons, I started trying flour idlis couple of years back n found it very very helpful for me..All you need to do is, just spend one day for making the essential flours n stay free for several months..

I make many varieties of flour idlis..And even you can experiment with ur creativity..I m just sharing one of the flour idli recipes here..So, with no more delay, let's see how to make it..
