Barley Idlis

Idli… the first dish that comes to our mind when we think of South India! I have modified this traditional snack to make it healthier by adding barley. Chopped vegetables add flavour, colour and more nutrition to this dish. Serve hot with sambhar.

Cooking Time: 45 Minutes
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup parboiled rice
1/4 cup urad dal (split black gram)
6 to 8 fenugreek (methi) seeds
1/4 cup barley (jau)
salt to taste
¼ cup finely chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, French beans, peas etc.)

Method

Wash and soak the rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds in lukewarm water for 2 to 3 hours.
Wash and soak the barley separately in lukewarm water for 2 to 3 hours.
Drain and keep 1 tablespoon of barley aside.
Drain the rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds and grind along with the remaining barley in a mixer to a smooth paste.
Cover and keep aside for 3 to 4 hours to ferment.
Add the salt and mix gently.
Apply a little water on the idli moulds and put spoonfuls of the batter into them.
Sprinkle a little barley and 2 teaspoons of vegetables over each idli and steam in a steamer for 20 minutes.
Unmould the idlis when slightly cool and serve immediately.
