Welcome to Sandya's kitchen. Today let's
see how to make Idli in an Instant Pot.
Let's look at the ingredients: 1 cup of
urad daal soaked in water for 6 hours and
2 cups of idli rava soaked in water for
6 hours.
Now I am going to blend this for a while
in a food processor to a fine
consistency. First drain all the water
and add just Urad dal into the
blender and around a tablespoon of salt.
let's add around 1/4 cup of water. add
another 1/4 cup of water.
You can see the batter is very smooth.
Now I'll add idli rava. Just make
sure we drain all the water and mix just
the rava. Now mix them both well and at
this point you can add water if you
think the consistency is not smooth
enough. The batter is a little thick so
I'm going to add another 1/4 cup of
water. Next step is to let the batter
ferment. I'm using instant pot for the
fermentation. Now let's look at the IP
settings. Turn on "Yogurt" mode and make
sure the whistle is in "Venting" and leave
it overnight for around 8 hours. I have
left it in yogurt mode overnight and I'm
going to open it now. The batter has
fermented well. You can see all the air
bubbles. Now let's see how to make idli
First I am gonna grease the idli stand
with some oil or ghee
and place the idli plates. Close the lid
and make sure the whistle is inventing
mode
I have let it steam for 10 minutes now I'm
going to turn it off. The Natural
Pressure release is done, I'm going to
open it.
