How to Make Ragi Idli (Stepwise Photos)

Method

  1. Soak split back grams and finger millets in 2 separate bowls for at least 3-4 hours.
  2. Drain and put the black grams in a grinder jar and grind with a little water till fluffy. Transfer into a deep bowl.  
  3. Drain and put the finger millets in the grinder jar and grind with a little water into a slightly coarse batter. Transfer into the same bowl as black gram. Add salt and mix well. Cover the bowl and keep it in a warm place to ferment overnight.

  5. The batter can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  6. Transfer the idlis on to individual serving plates and serve hot with chutney of your choice or with hot sambhar.
