Idli is the first dish that comes to mind when one thinks of South Indian cuisine. Not without reason – this easy-to-digest and wholesome dish is perfect to have at any time of the day, for breakfast, evening snacks or dinner.


Barley Idli is a modified version of this traditional snack, which uses a batter of barley, rice and urad dal. Assorted veggies add a splash of colours, flavours and of course more nutrition to this zero-oil snack. Serve the Barley Idlis immediately with Sambhar . To keep the snack totally oil-free, wet the idli moulds with water instead of greasing with oil.

Hello!! Nice recipe. Will give a try. I want to know can we add Baking Soda/ENO/ Curd to make it soft like rice idlis. For how many days can the batter be stored in fridge? Any precaution to be taken while storing it. I Also want to know How to Store Rice Idli Batter in fridge and for how many days can it be stored. Which Chutney goes best with barley idli- Coconut/ Tomato? Please respond.

Tarla Dalal    Eno can be added to make barley idlis soft. Prefer not to store the barley idli batter. You can serve barley idli with https://www.tarladalal.com/coconut-chutney---idlis-and-dosas-1653r and https://www.tarladalal.com/tomato-chutney----idlis-and-dosas-1654r. Rice idli batter can be refrigerated for 1 to 2 days. If frozen, it can be stored upto 15 to 20 days.

Too good and absolutely healthy with the use of fibre rich barley and no oil at all. These idlis don''t fluff like regular idlis but they taste fab!!
