Instant Broken Wheat Idli
Ingredients
Broken Wheat, fine - 1 & 1/2 cups
Curds - 1 cup
Water - 3/4 cup
Coriander leaves few
Fresh Coconut, grated - 2 tbsp
Salt to taste
For tempering
Oil - 2 tsps
Onions - 1 medium
Curry leaves few
Mustard, urad dhal, - 1/2 tsp
Channa dal - 1/2 tsp
Cashew nuts - 4 -5 broken
Cashew nuts handful for garnish
How to make the Idlis
In a non stick pan, dry roast the broken wheat. Remove and cool. Transfer to a bowl and mix with curds without lumps.
In the same pan, heat oil, add seasoning, sauté till onions are done and pour over the mixture.
Add salt, coriander leaves and grated coconut. Now add water and mix well.
Mix thoroughly, and pour in greased idli plates and steam for about 10 minutes.
Serve with chutney of your choice.
Notes:
This instant idlis don't need resting as well. However as I was cooking something else along with this, I ended up resting this for 10 mins.
The idlis were soft, though it did turn out to be little dry. So either increase the oil or water by 1/4 cup more.

Since you have so many recipes, I would not be surprised if you repeated a recipe. At time it does get difficult to keep track of what all we blogged, especially if one is an active blogger like you. I should tell my mom about this recipe, as she too is a diabetic.
