Bajra Idli

🇮🇳 Indian

Millets are having their comeback and bajra idli shows why — nutty, sustaining, and older than memory. 35 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 15 min Cook 20 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Urad Dal1/2 cup
  • Fenugreek Seeds1/2 tsp
  • Pearl Millet (Bajra)2 cups

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the millet, dal and fenugreek 4 hours; grind to a smooth batter and ferment overnight.

  2. 2

    Pour into greased idli moulds and steam 12 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.

  3. 3

    Serve with sambar and chutney — millet versions carry a lovely nutty edge.

Chef's tip

Hot water and patience — millet dough and batter both punish haste.
