Dahi Idlis Recipe Card
Hindi: chawal
How many times have we thought rice is a blessing? We use it for holy purposes but we also can pressure up a quick pulao or khichdi when hunger pangs are drumming away! This is one grain that is about 98% percent digestible. In India we are familiar with Basmati, Patna or brown rice but it is also available as Italian Rice and Glutinous Rice which is popular in Chinese and Japanese cuisines.

Pour a spoonful of batter into each mould. Steam idlis till done. Allow standing time of five minutes, demould. Arrange the idlis in a flat dish. Whisk the yogurt with a pinch of salt. Pour it over the idlis. Heat oil and add mustard seeds.
Step 3
As they begin to crackle, add broken red chillies, curry leaves and halved cashewnuts. Remove when cashewnuts are golden brown and pour the tempering over the idlis. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately.
