Ingredients

• 2 cup - raw rice
• 1 cup - thick poha
• 1 cup - grated coconut
• 1/2 cup - jaggery powder
• 1 cup - milk
• 2 tbsp - curds
• 1/2 tsp - salt
• 2 tbsp - raisins
• 2 tbsp - cashew nuts, chopped
• 1/2 tsp - cardamom powder

How to Make Sweet Idly

• Wash and soak rice in water for 2 hours. Soak poha for 15-20 mins.
• Drain the rice from water. Grind with poha, coconut and milk to a slightly coarse consistency, like idli batter.
• Add jaggery, salt and grind till jaggery is dissolved (do not add much water as the batter becomes thin when jaggery is added).
• Cover and leave to ferment over night.
• Next morning, mix in the raisins, cashewnuts and cardamom.
• Steam like idlis. Serve hot with melted ghee.
