idli mix recipe, instant idli mix, instant idli with idli mix

Instant Idli premix is a very handy recipe that you can prepare prior in order to make idlis. This is an easy and quick way to prepare soft and fluffy idli with the premixed rice and urad dal powder mix. instant idli with idli mix can be really handy for young bachelors or working couples on a busy morning. Idlis made from this powder is fluffy and goes bests with coconut chutney and sambar.

I recently came across to this recipe and I found this instant idli powder very handy in my kitchen because we used to prepare idli sambar and idli podi once a week in our home.

Originally, Idlis are made from the fermented batter which is quite similar to dosa batter. To make idli-dosa batter, soaking lentils is essential too which takes a lot of time.

This premix powder is prepared without soaking lentils and you can use this powder either instantly to make idlis or to make fermented better for idlis.

You can store this powder for 2 to 3 months approx when storing in an airtight container. I also want to make a note here that you can not prepare dosas from this powder mix as using this powder to make dosas will give a soft(not a crisp) dosas and sometimes sticks to the pan.
