The Secret to India's Healthiest Breakfast

The Secret to India's Healthiest Breakfast - Idli Sambar

Күн бұрын

This a full guide to making fluffy Idli at home and pairing them with a traditional Sambar and Coconut Chutney. One of South India's most iconic breakfasts, it's also incredibly healthy thanks to the fermentation and combination of rice & lentils. There might be a lot of steps, but fear not, I've included plenty of tips to speed things up and substitute ingredients where possible.

@mayag278 Ай бұрын

Yeah north Indian is more meaty, richer flavours w/ primary spices being garam masala (cloves, cinnamon etc). South India is more earthy, delicate flavours that are paired better with veg w/ primary spices coriander and cumin. If you go West of South India, you get a dominance of seafoods and creamy flavours like coconut become more prevalent. Far North (Punjab) is also more cream based but they prefer animal products. East India is actually the least acknowledged. Their foods have unique flavours eg the use of bamboo shoots, and are typically far more subtle. Not the complexity you'd expect from India. Much to discover in Indian cuisine!

A tip using salt here. If you add the full amount of salt, its gonna speed up the fermentation and turn the batter super sour in a couple of days and it's not good to consume such super sour batter regularly when you have more batter to store. Rather, add just a pinch of salt and keep the required amount of batter unrefrigerated and the remaining refrigerated. In this case, you can avoid the refrigerated batter turn sour and thereby use it for few more days. Just take the required quantity out of the refrigerator for 6-8 hours to let it ferment till the next use. Btw, the video is awesome and thank you. We just had some idlis for dinner here. God bless you.

I **LOVE** making Idli Sambar! Always a great excuse to bring out the wet grinder. My biggest problem in the beginning was remembering to add the salt after the fermentation, so I have had a couple of very tasteless batches. And Sambar is SO delicious. I make two Sambar masalas: one hot and one mild (for my wife), and I find myself using them in more than just Sambar. Seriously my culinary hat is off to all my South Indian brothers and sisters for perfecting this cuisine for the rest of us. You truly have given us all a great and very tasty gift.

@uthrasriram9386 3 ай бұрын

Tip from a Tamilian - add channa dal & toor dal to the sambar powder, rather than urad dal, as urad dal will make it slimy. You can add drumsticks, pumpkin too to the veggie mix. Boiling & mashing a few cubes of pumpkin will enhance the sambar to the next level. Also, a single piece of garlic/few prigs of coriander/mint can add a different dimension to your chutney. Ideally, you start sambar with the tempering, then add curry leaves, then the veggies, stir fry for a bit, then add the water/tamarind extract. Makes it smell amazing! For rasam & other dishes, temper in the end. Nothing can beat cold winters like piping hot garlic & pepper rasam & rice, with roast potato or pappad. Enjoy!

@@BakingHermannloved this video, literally felt like watching a South Indian mom making a meal in her kitchen. Btw, when you pan fry idly/dosai batter, that’s called an Utthappam. It’s an absolutely delicious dish, kind of like a savoury pancake, you can also add toppings, usually onions, bell pepper and tomatoes, or a typical South Indian “tadka” of mustard seeds, green chilli peppers and curry leaves fried in sesame seed oil, then pour the batter over that, and flip it so it’s cooked on both sides. Utthappams are one of my favourite. Can’t wait for you to discover Rava Dosai. The batter is so easy to make and needs no fermentation/waiting. It’s basically instant. Great job with the video, really impressed.

You just earned a subscriber thanks to this video! Do look into Rava Idlis too. They're a lot less hassle without needing the kind of fermentation that Idli does.

Fermentation needed to our body for gut to be healthy. It increases B 12.

Authentic recipe, but i suggest you reduce amount of tamarind in sambar, becouse idly also a bit sour after fermentation. Usually i add a little jaggery in sambar too, its traditional udupi style sambar , best for idly. And also sambar should be a little runny, need some more water. Chatney is perfect. 👍

Eating idli in chucks u won't get the flavour much. Instead mash idli with fingers a bit, like texture of mashed potato. Then add sambhar gravy to this idli mash, mix and eat..it will taste better. Hope tamarind ball wasn't in excess, or it will turn gravy too sour.

@@BakingHermannI have to say, it's more like an eating preference. I prefer the chunks and some people would like to mash it. I find it rather spicy that way.

Very well explained. they look yummy. For a low carb version of idlis, I make idlis with 1 cup urad dal and i cup moong dal. The idlis come out very fluffy. Everything else is the same although I don't think this version needs as much soaking as the rice version.

Mouthwatering! (Tip - you can partially mash the veggies in the sambar! We do that usually, it enhances the test of the veggies and makes the Sambar soupy!)
