    Quinoa Idli Recipe

    Quinoa in Spanish, from Quechua kinwa or kinuwa. is a species of the goosefoot genus, a grain crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal, similar in some respects to buckwheat, rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family.

    Ingredients for Quinoa Idli

    • Idli Rice - 1 cup
    • Whole Urad Dal - ½ cup
    • Quinoa - 1 cup
    • Salt to taste

    I have been using this nutritious grain for a few months now and i love it to the core. I used that to make idli and to my surprise the idlies turned out to be soft and fluffy.

    Quinoa Idli Preparation

    • Soak rice and quinoa together. Soak urad dal separately for 4 to 6 hours.
    • Now drain them. Take urad dal in a blender and add little water at a time and puree till smooth and fluffy.
    • Pour that in a bowl.
    • Take rice and quinoa in the same blender and puree till smooth. Now pour it in the same bowl. Add salt and mix well.
    • Cover and leave to ferment for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
    • Now mix well.
    • Take a idli plate, grease lightly with oil and pour ladleful of batter in it and steam cook for 6 to 9 mins.
    • Remove it and carefully remove the idlies using a spoon.
    • Serve with chutney.
