Idly(Steamed rice dumplings)

A.W.E.D- Indian Cuisine, Event

This is my entry to the AWED event…

Here's the announcement page for the event:
 The most popular South indian Breakfast savory- Idly is a steamed rice dumpling or fluffy smooth  lentil and rice cake. It is an all time favorite for everyone. Generally these Idlies are  served with spicy Idly podi (mixture of blended dry spices) served with melted Ghee or gingely oil, mildly spiced coconut chutney and Sambar (vegetable lentil soup).
 Black gram and Idly(boiled rice) rawa(powdered rice) is used to make the Idli. However, in some parts of south India, Idly(steamed) rice is used instead of Idly(boiled) rice rawa. The rice is soaked in water beforehand and ground well. I have used the Idly(boiled rice) rawa in my recipe for making Idlies.
 Black gram usually has a black colored skin. The de-skinned variety of black gram is available in the market which is white in color. I have used this "white" black gram for making Idlies- i.e white lentils.
