How to Prepare Kiro Ragi Idli Premix (No Fermentation)
Ingredients
-
Kiro Ragi idli Premix – 1 cup (approx. 100–120 g)
-
Water – ¾ to 1 cup (as needed)
-
ENO Fruit Salt – ½ tsp
-
Salt – to taste
-
Oil – for greasing moulds
Method
-
Prepare the Batter
In a bowl, add the ragi premix and salt.
Slowly add water and mix well to form a smooth, thick batter (slightly thicker than dosa batter). -
Rest the Batter
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes for better texture. -
Add ENO
Just before steaming, add ½ tsp ENO to the batter.
Gently mix once in one direction.
Do not overmix. -
Steam the Idlis
Grease idli moulds lightly and pour batter into each mould.
Steam in a preheated steamer for 10–12 minutes on medium heat. -
Check & Serve
Insert a toothpick—if it comes out clean, idlis are ready.
Allow to cool for 1–2 minutes, demould gently.
Serving Suggestion
Serve hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar.
Tips (Optional – You can keep or remove for label)
-
For softer idlis, you may add 1 tbsp curd (optional).
-
Batter consistency is key—too thin = flat idlis, too thick = dense idlis.
-
Always add ENO just before steaming.
