They help regulate blood sugar levels, making them a perfect choice for diabetic-friendly and gluten-free meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-Step Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soaking the Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hillsnatural.in\/store\/product\/kodo-millet-varagu\/\">Kodo Millets<\/a>: Wash the millets thoroughly to remove dirt and impurities. Soak them in water for 6\u20138 hours or overnight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Urad Dal and Fenugreek Seeds: Rinse the urad dal and fenugreek seeds. Soak them together in water for the same duration as the millets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poha: Just before grinding, rinse the poha and set it aside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grinding the Batter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grind Urad Dal: Drain the urad dal and fenugreek seeds. Grind them into a smooth and fluffy batter using a wet grinder or blender. Add water gradually to get the right consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grind Kodo Millets: Drain the soaked millets and grind them into a slightly coarse batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Combine: In a large bowl, mix the urad dal batter and millet batter. Add the rinsed poha and stir well to combine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fermentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cover the bowl with a lid and let the batter ferment in a warm place for 8\u201310 hours or overnight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After fermentation, the batter should double in volume and have a light, airy texture. Add salt to taste and gently mix without deflating the batter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steaming the Idlis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grease idli molds with a little oil or ghee. Pour the batter into the molds, filling them about 3\/4 full.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steam the idlis in an idli steamer or a pressure cooker (without the whistle) for 10\u201312 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of an idli. If it comes out clean, your idlis are ready!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch the Step-by-Step <a href=\"https:\/\/hillsnatural.in\/store\/product\/kodo-millet-varagu\/\">Kodo Millet<\/a> Idli Recipe Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Healthy weight loss idli\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bXGOtlTH-7s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pair these soft and fluffy <a href=\"https:\/\/hillsnatural.in\/store\/product\/kodo-millet-varagu\/\">Kodo Millet<\/a> Idlis with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coconut Chutney: A classic pairing for a creamy, nutty flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sambar: A hearty lentil stew with vegetables and spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomato Chutney: For a tangy twist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Perfect Millet Idlis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure the batter has a smooth, pourable consistency but isn\u2019t too runny.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In colder climates, place the batter in a warm spot to aid fermentation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid over-mixing the batter after fermentation to retain its airy texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Soft and Nutritious<a href=\"https:\/\/hillsnatural.in\/store\/product\/kodo-millet-varagu\/\"> Kodo Millet<\/a> Idli recipe is perfect for anyone looking to add a healthy twist to their breakfast routine.
