Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups semolina
  • 2 cups plain yogurt
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • handful of fresh curry leaves (finely chopped)
  • ½ tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Brush Idly moulds with oil. Pour about 1-½ tablespoon of batter on each mould. Then, microwave it for 3.5 minutes to 4 minutes. If you were steaming it on a stovetop, it would take about 10 minutes, depending on the size of the Idly moulds.

Notes

  • You can make the batter in advance, even the night before and let it rest in the refrigerator.
  • Unlike rice Idly, these semolina Idlis will not rise. However, it will still be fluffy and soft.
  • Once steamed, remember to take out the Idly from the microwave. I had kept it inside for a longer time once and eventually, it got dry and hard.
