Edli

Everyone know Edli is a very common South Indian breakfast. Easy to make as well. But sometimes people often complain that Edli's doesn't come out very soft. So, I would like to share my recipe  for soft and spongy edli. 

Ingredients:

Edli Ravva - 2 cups (Clean and Soak for 5 hrs)

Urad dal/minappa pappu - 1 cup (Clean and soak for 7 hrs )
Methi/fenugreek seeds - 1 tsp
Chana Dal - 1 tsp
Toor Dal - 1tsp
Moong Dal - 1 tsp
Cooked White Rice - handful 
Oil - 1 tsp
Salt - as needed
Water - as needed


Method:
Clean and soak Edli Rava in a container and Urad Dal, methi seeds, chana dal,toor dal, moong dal for 7 hours in another container. Grind Urad Dal, methi seeds, chana dal,toor dal, moong dal together with 1 cup of water. Add Edli Rava and cooked white Rice to it and grind for another minute adding water as necessary.  Cooked white rice is the secret ingredient to make soft and spongy Edli. Take it in a big container and leave it over night. Edli will ferment. 
Next day, take the required amount of Edli batter in a small bowl and add water if needed to it. Add 3 pinches of salt to it and grease the Edli cooker plates and cook it.
They come out soft and smooth like a sponge. Enjoy with the Sambhar and Chutney I have posted.
