How to make Moong Dal Idli

By / Breakfast Recipes, Fitpiq Team, Health Tips, Healthy Breakfast Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Weight Loss Recipes

Ingredients:

  • Yellow moong dal (split yellow gram) – 1 cup
  • Rice – ½ cup (optional, for extra softness; you can skip for 100% moong dal idli)
  • Yogurt (curd) – ¼ cup (or water if you want it vegan)
  • Ginger – 1-inch piece, grated
  • Green chili – 1, finely chopped (optional)
  • Cumin seeds – ½ tsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Baking soda – ½ tsp (optional, for extra fluffiness)
  • Oil or ghee – to grease the idli molds

Instructions:

1. Soak the dal (and rice, if using)

  • Wash 1 cup moong dal (and ½ cup rice) thoroughly.
  • Soak in water for 3–4 hours.

2. Grind into batter

  • Drain the soaked dal (and rice).
  • Grind into a smooth batter using a little water (start with ¼ cup water, add more if needed).
  • Batter should be thick but pourable, like regular idli batter.

3. Fermentation (optional)

  • Add ¼ cup yogurt to the batter.
  • Mix well and leave it to ferment for 4–6 hours in a warm place.
    (If you skip fermentation, add ½ tsp baking soda before steaming for fluffiness.)

4. Add seasonings

  • Mix in salt, grated ginger, green chili, and cumin seeds.

5. Steam the idlis

  • Grease the idli molds with oil or ghee.
  • Pour the batter into molds.
  • Steam in an idli steamer or pressure cooker (without whistle) for 12–15 minutes.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.

6. Serve

  • Let the idlis cool for a few minutes, then remove from molds.
  • Serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or tomato chutney.

Tips:

  • For extra softness, soak dal + rice longer (4–6 hours).
  • You can skip rice entirely for a protein-packed, gluten-free version.
  • Add a few finely chopped curry leaves or grated carrot for flavor and nutrition.
  • Don’t overfill the idli molds; batter rises during steaming.
