Sweetcorn Paneer Idli Recipe
Idli is a traditional dish of South-Indian households. It is usually prepared by using a batter which consists of black gram (urad dal) and rice. In this recipe, semolina (suji) has been used as batter. Suji provides great energy and is good for diabetics, apart from lowering cholesterol levels. Sweet corn (makka) and cottage cheese (paneer) have also been incorporated into the batter to make it tastier. Makka is gluten-free, a rich source of starch and antioxidants. Paneer is power-packed with proteins and keeps hunger pangs at bay. To introduce variation, other vegetables can also be used in place of these, like carrots or beans. Yogurt (dahi) has been used in this recipe to obtain a thick and rich batter. Spices can be added according to taste. The idly moulds in the idly-maker should be slightly greased to avoid sticking of batter. Steaming of these idlis is an important step and should be done carefully. A toothpick should be inserted in the core of the idly to ensure completion of cooking. Idlis are usually mild in flavour and hence taste brilliant when teamed with a chutney or sambhar. Serve these sweetcorn paneer idlis piping hot along with green chutney and sambhar, and get lost in their magical taste.
