Cocktail Idlis

Mini idlis skewered with capsicums and tossed in sauces and served with rasam. To make Cocktail idli I am using the rava idli which is quick and easy to make. This also makes a great lunch box meal as it is very healthy and satisfying.

  1. Wash the rice and soak in three cups of fresh water for at least two three hours. Wash and soak the dal in two cups of water for a similar time.
  2. Drain and grind the rice to a slightly coarse texture. Use water as required to make a batter of dropping consistency.
  3. Drain and grind the dal, sprinkling water as required to a smooth and spongy batter. Mix both the batters. Sprinkle salt and mix thoroughly in a whipping motion using your hand.
  4. Pour batter into a large vessel, close tightly with a lid and rest in a warm place overnight. Heat sufficient water in a steamer.
  5. Place a wet muslin cloth on the mini idli stand. Pour a spoonful of the fermented batter into each dent.

  7. Skewer the idlis and vegetables onto each toothpick in the following order: onion, idli, capsicum, idli, tomato. Heat the oil in a pan and arrange the toothpicks on it.
  8. Add the tomato ketchup and red chilli sauce and toss. You can serve them with rasam.
