Idly Sambar is one of the south Indian breakfasts.Idly is usually served with sambar or chutney or spiced powder (podi). I love Idly with sambar.

Sambar also goes well with dosa, vada, rice. Here is the recipe of simple vegetable Idly and sambar.

Idly

Ingredients:

Idly Rava – 2 cups

Urad Dal – 1 cup

Vegetables ( green peas, carrot, onion ) – 1 cup

Salt As required

Baking Soda a pinch

Preparation

Soak urad dal, Idly rava in water separately for 4-5 hours. After 4 hours drain the water from urad dal and grind it still soft and fluffy. Drain water from Idly rava and mix well with the above grinded paste.
Cover this batter and let it ferment for 5-8 hrs. The key to soft idly is in fermentation process.
After 8 hrs the batter appears fluffy and risen. Then add salt and a pinch of baking soda to the mixture and mix well.
Boil all the vegetables in microwave for 2-3mins
Grease Idly making plates with some oil and put some veggies in it and later fill it with Idly batter
Steam the Idlys for 15-20 mins and remove each idly very carefully.

Idlys are ready and can be served with sambar.
