    Instant Ragi Idli Recipe with Step by Step Photos:

    • Combine the ragi flour, semolina and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. Do not add the baking soda at this stage.

    • Add fresh or little sour yogurt to the flour mixture and combine.

    • Add required water little by little and make a batter. The water quantity depends on the yogurt. If you are using very thick yogurt, you will need more water to get the medium thick consistency.
    • Let the batter sit for about 15 -30 minutes.

    • After 15-30 minutes, mix the batter once and add little water to get the medium thick consistency if needed.
    • Just before steaming the idlis, add baking soda to the batter and mix until well combined.

    • Refer the above image or video for the right consistency.
    • Grease the idli plates with little oil or ghee and fill them with the prepared batter.
    • Immediately steam cook them for about 8-10 minutes over a high flame.

    • When they are done, remove the idlis from the plates and serve with chutney and sambar.

      The idlis look tempting from outside but pls show the idli from inside by cutting it so that we know the texture within which is more important before we follow the recipe
