Home Cooked Poha Idli/ पोहा इडली

Easy Step-by-Step Instructions for making Poha Idli at Home.

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by soaking the poha and urad dal separately in water for about 15-20 minutes. This helps soften the ingredients and makes them easier to grind. (Time: 15-20 minutes)

Grind the Batter: Once the poha and dal are soaked, drain the water. In a blender, grind the soaked dal and poha together, adding a little water to make a smooth batter. The consistency should be thick yet pourable. (Time: 15 minutes)

Ferment the Batter: Transfer the ground batter to a large bowl, cover it, and let it ferment for about 6-8 hours or overnight in a warm place. The batter should double in size and develop a slightly tangy aroma. (Time: 6-8 hours or overnight)

Prepare for Steaming: Grease the idli molds with a little oil to prevent the idlis from sticking. Once the batter has fermented, give it a gentle stir. If desired, add a pinch of Eno (fruit salt) for extra fluffiness. (Time: 5 minutes)

Steam the Idlis: Fill a steaming pot with water, ensuring it doesn’t touch the idli molds. Place the idli stand in the pot and steam the idlis for about 10-12 minutes. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean. (Time: 10-12 minutes)

Serve and Enjoy: Once the idlis are cooked, carefully remove them from the molds. Serve them hot with chutney or sambar for an authentic experience. (Time: 2 minutes)
