corn Idly with Capsicum Gothsu!

I made corn idly some days ago. Here I am giving you the recipe for it.

Yellow corn 2 Cups (Or corn rava 2 cups, I used corn rava)

Urad dhal 1/4 cup to 1/2 according to the quality of urad dhal.

Methi seeds one teaspoon

Clean and soak the corn rava in water for 4 hours. Clean the urad dhal along with the methi seeds and soak them also. After 4 hours grind the urad dhal+methi seeds mixture. The batter should be fluffy. And grind the corn rava also. Mix the two batter and add salt.  Keep aside for fermentation. After 6 to 8 hours of fermentaion it is ready to prepare idly. Prepare idly in your idly pan. I am using the traditional type idly pan only. So grease the idly plates and pour the batter and put it in the pan for making idlies.



The batter is ready to make idlies.




Hot idlies are ready to eat.

Barley Dosa!

There are some more gothsu recipes to come. In the meantime, we will just give a look about Barley Dosai! I saw it in a TV Channel and it is very easy to make. For four persons the following ingredients are needed.

One cup Idli rice
One cup Raw rice
One cup Barley
1/2 cup urad dhal
Two teaspoons Methi seeds

Clean and wash the barley and soak it in the water for atleast  6 hours. Add the rices and urad dhal together and wash it and soak in the water with the methi seeds. Then grind all the ingredients in the grinder. It will come fluffy. Add the required salt and remove from the grinder and pour it in a vessel and put it under fermentation for 6 to 8 hours. If you need it in the morning then grind the ingredients along with barley the previous day. The batter should not be very thin or very thick. So add enough water while making dosa! Next day morning  make delicious dosas from the batter and serve hot with tomato chutney or coconut chutney or sambar.
