Broken Corn Idli Recipe
Broken Corn Idli is an instant way to make your breakfast. As this instant corn idli needs no soaking and grinding it is very easy to make especially for breakfast and dinner when you are looking for quick fixes. It has mild flavour with a little grainy texture and it feels bit different from regular idli. The taste is simple and it goes very well with chutney or podi on side.
Servings10 idlis
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups broken corn
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- ⅛ teaspoon soda
- salt to taste
To temper:
- 1 teaspoon oil
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- ½ teaspoon jeera
- ¼ teaspoon split urad dal
Instructions
- I got fine corn rava this is it. To a mixing bowl add corn rava.
- It was so fine, just like our white rava. Add thick buttermilk to it.
- Mix well, the consistency will be runny. Keep covered for 5 minutes.
- Then add salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- Heat oil and add the items listed under to temper. Now the mixture is a bit thick.
- Now add the tempering and mix well.
- Grease your idli plates with oil, take a ladle full of the batter and pour into the mould.
- Steam cook for 10 minutes or until a spoon or inserted inserted into the idlis comes out clean with sticking. Then its done. Switch off.
- Remove the idli plates, dip a spoon in water.
- Using the spoon remove the idlis. Transfer to hot box.
- Serve Broken Corn Idli hot with your favorite chutney!
Notes
- Soaking corn – I usually soak corn rava in buttermilk for few minutes and it helps it soften well and cook better.
- Batter – I keep batter slightly thick, not too runny and if needed I add little water to adjust.
- Adding soda – I add soda just before steaming and do not add too early as it may affect texture.
- Tempering mix – I mix tempering well into batter and it gives better flavour and taste.
- Steaming properly – I steam until cooked fully and insert spoon to check if done and it should come clean.
