How to make Sprouted Moong Dal Idli

    Making of Moong Sprouts

    • Wash and soak the moong dal overnight. Next day, drain the water and tie the moong dal in a muslin cloth. Keep it out for 8 hrs, end of the time you will see the sprouts. If you making the idlies, use right away, else it can be refrigerated.

    Making the Idlis

    • Meanwhile, soak the urad dal along with Methi Seeds for 2 hrs. After 2 hrs, grind the sprouted moong dal to a smooth paste. Drain the urad dal and grind to a smooth paste separately. Mix together and add salt. Keep it covered and let it ferment for 2 hrs.
    • When ready to post, grease the idli molds, and steam as you regularly do.
    • Serve with spicy chutney.

    Notes

    After steaming, leave it like that for 5 mins, so that the idlis get out of the molds easily.
