For Red CHili Chatney:-
water, loi, dryed red chilli
Recipes
1.Making Red CHILI Chatnry
- Transfer 2 oz (50 g) dried red chilies to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour 3 cups of boiling hot water over the chilies and let them soak for 25-30 minutes. Keep a heavy ladle or something heavy over teh chilies to prevent them from floating on top of the water.
- Blend The Chilies
- Drain the water and add the soaked chilies to a blender along with ¼ cup water.
- Blend until smooth. Keep scraping the sides of the blender while blending.
- Make Plain Chilli Paste
- Heat 2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chilli paste to the pan and saute for about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and let it cool completely. Transfer it to a clean jar with a tight lid and refrigerate for up to 15 days. Use as desired!
- Make Chilli Paste With Seasonings
- Heat 2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add 2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic, 2 teaspoon finely chopped ginger, and saute for 30-40 seconds.
- Add the chili paste, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add ½ cup tightly packed freshly grated coconut in a chutney grinder jar or a small grinder jar.
- Add 1 to 2 chopped green chillies (depending on your heat preference), ½ inch chopped ginger (optional, can substitute with 2 small cloves of garlic) and 2 tablespoons roasted chana dal.
- Grind to a smooth consistency. If the blade is unable to grind or the chutney looks thick, then you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons more water or as needed.
- In a small pan or a tadka pan, heat ½ tablespoon sesame oil (gingelly oil – made from raw sesame seeds) over low heat.
- Add ½ teaspoon mustard seeds and let them begin to crackle.
- Once the mustard seeds begin to crackle, add ½ teaspoon urad dal (split and husked black gram).
- Next add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds. You can skip cumin seeds if you prefer. Stir often and fry keeping the flame to a low.
- The urad dal should start becoming golden. The cumin seeds will also crackle and get browned.
- Switch off the flame and immediately pour the entire tempering together with the oil on the ground coconut chutney in the bowl.
- In a bowl or pan take 1 cup parboiled rice and 1 cup regular rice. Here I have used the Indian variety of sona masuri rice along with parboiled rice. . Pick and then rinse both the rice varieties a couple of times in fresh water. Drain all the water and keep it aside.
- Instead of this proportion, you can also use overall 2 cups of idli rice OR 2 cups of parboiled rice (as shown in the video above).
- . Then add the poha to the rice. Add 2 cups of water. Mix very well and keep aside covered to soak for 4 to 5 hours.
- In a separate bowl take ½ cup urad dal (husked black gram) along with ¼ teaspoon fenugreek seeds.
- Rinse a couple of times in fresh water.
- Add 1 cup water. Cover and soak for 4 to 5 hours.
- Before grinding, drain the water from urad dal, but don’t throw away the water. Reserve the soaked water as we will be using this water for grinding or you can use fresh water for grinding.
- In a wet grinder jar, add the urad dal. Initially add ¼ cup of the reserved water or fresh water.
- And grind the urad dal for some seconds. Then add ¼ cup of the reserved soaked water or fresh water and continue to grind. The batter should be light and fluffy when completely ground.
- Pour the urad dal batter in a deep pan or bowl.
- Drain the water from the rice and poha. Add them in the wet grinder jar or in a powerful blender. I usually grind in two batches.
- Depending on the capacity of your mixer-grinder or blender you can grind in two to three batches. If the mixie gets heated up while grinding, then stop and let it cool. Then continue with the grinding.
- 14: Use the reserved urad dal strained water or regular fresh water to grind the rice and poha too. Add water in parts and grind.
- The rice can have a fine rava like consistency in the batter. A smooth batter is also fine. I usually add a total of ¾ cup of water while grinding rice. The rice batter should not be too thick or thin.
- You can add about ¾ to 1 cup of water depending upon the quality of rice.
- Now pour the rice batter in the bowl containing the urad dal batter.
- Add 1 teaspoon of rock salt. Mix very well with a spoon or spatula. If you live in a cool or cold region, then do not add salt. Add salt later once the fermentation is done.
- If you live in a hot or warm climate, then add salt as it does not allow the batter to get over fermented in the time duration of 6 to 8 hours.
- Note that salt retards the fermentation process.
- Cover the bowl or container with a lid and keep the batter in a warm place. It should be left undisturbed for 8 to 9 hours. Don’t use an air-tight lid. In colder climate, keep the batter for a longer time – from 12 to 24 hours.
- The batter the next morning. It will ferment and increase in volume. A well fermented idli batter will have a nice sour aroma with many tiny air pockets in the batter.
- As soon as the batter is fermented you can begin with steaming the idli or keep the batter in the fridge if making later.
- If you allow the fermented batter to remain at room temperature, it will ferment more and will become very sour with time.
- Grease the idli mould with oil. Gently and lightly swirl the batter. Don’t overdo. Now with a spoon pour portions of the batter in the greased idli moulds.
- Take your idli steamer or pressure cooker or electric cooker or Instant pot. Add some 2 to 2.5 cups water and heat the water until it comes to a light boil. Keep the idli mould in the steamer or pressure cooker. Steam for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Timing will vary depending on the kind of equipment you have used. If using a pressure cooker, then cover the pressure cooker with its lid. Remove the vent weight/whistle from the lid. Steam the idlis for approx 12 to 15 minutes.
- Check for doneness by carefully inserting a bamboo skewer or knife. If it does not come out clean, then keep again for a few more minutes.
- When done remove the idli mould from the cooker. Don’t overcook as then they become dry. Dip a spoon or butter knife in water and slid them through the idlis. Remove and place the idlis in a warm container like a casserole.
- Serve Idli hot or warm with sambar and coconut chutney.
