Instant Idli Mix Recipe
Instant Idli Mix: Idli Premix: Instant Idli Powder: Idli Recipe: usually made with urad dal and rice flour.
The first thing we need to understand is What is Premix?
Premix is a powder basically prepared of such which takes much time in preparation like idli, dosa, halwa, etc.
Today I am sharing a recipe of Instant Idli Mix. This mix is helpful for bachelors and of course for the morning hectic schedule. This gives us an easy and quick way to prepare soft, fluffy and delicious idlis. This will not work for Dosa, there is a different recipe for the Instant Dosa Mix.
This mix will be helpful when you have strong craving for authentic idli but does not want to do much hassle of fermentation and grinding process. The whole process will take less than 30 minutes means now you can enjoy the authentic taste of idlis in just 30 minutes.
Discussing in detail about the mix: I am dry roasting all the things which is a necessary step here as the main purpose to roast all the things is to remove the moisture content from everything to improve the shelf life.
Next, I am using Flatten Rice/Poha (can use either thick or thin) which provides the softness to idlis. Lastly, I am using Fruit Salt to eliminate the fermentation process. You can use baking soda as an alternative.
So, if guests are at your place you can serve it to them. You can also make your kids happy as serving it in their lunch box. Serve these idlis with the authentic chutneys of South or with Sambhar. You can also make Fried Idlis with this.
