About

Moong Sprouts Idli is a nutritious variation of traditional idli, made from fermented moong sprouts batter. The idlis are steamed in molds until fluffy and cooked through, offering a lighter and healthier option. They are rich in protein, fiber, and vitamins, making them ideal for a balanced diet. Serve Moong Sprouts Idli with chutney and sambar for a wholesome South Indian breakfast or snack.

Steps

1 Done	In a mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups Moong Sprouts, 1/4 cup Semolina, chopped Ginger Knob, and chopped Green Chillies.
2 Done	Transfer the mixture to a mixer jar. Add 1/4 cup Curd, Salt as per taste, and a little Water. Grind to make a smooth batter, similar to dosa batter consistency.
3 Done	Place a steamer on the stove and bring water to a boil. Grease the Idli moulds with Oil to prevent sticking.
4 Done	Just before steaming, add 1/2 tsp Fruit Salt (Eno) to the batter and mix it gently. (Note: If making dosas instead, skip adding Fruit Salt.)
