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.


In the meantime we will have a look at the preparation of capsicum gothsu
