High Protein Vegan SuperFood- IDLIS😇

Hello dear ones,
When food meets good intentions its a gathering,
when the heart meets authentic flavours its celebration...

Some basic questions that I do ask myself while making food choices:
  1. is it relevant to my lifestyle?
  2. is it replicable & sustainable?
  3. do i feel happy when I eat it?
  4.  most importantly is it nutritious & easily digestible 😃
While not all food may fall in this category, basic meals must, so I've turned to Idli's and sharing my version using black gram with skin and brow rice instead of the traditional de-skinned black gram & white rice. Here go the videos, happy viewing & making:
STEP 1 : 


STEP 2:
STEP 3:

Few points to remember:
- 1 cup of black gram and 3 cups of brown rice must be soaked overnight .
-to the black gram add 1 tea spoon of fenugreek seeds + cumin seeds
- They need to be grind in a blender, to the blended thick paste add half a tea spoon of fresh ginger juice and leave it for 3hours 
- after fermenting naturally, you can now place this batter into the IDLI STEAM MOULDS.
Incase you don't have them, you can alternately put it in a cake mould & steam it 8-10mins.
Garnish with your favourite veggies & coconut sauce (recipe to follow).

Enjoy & do share how it turned out...
Love
Shilpa
