I tried for the first time brown rice for making idlies, eventhough i used these brown rice for making many dishes and bakes...I completely skipped the white rice in this idly batter and tried out using brown rice and whole urad dal with some fenugreek seeds, these idlies turned super fluffy,soft eventhough they werent completely bright white in colour (usually in our home town idlies are compared to jasmin flower), the picture itself says it na..Otherwise we didnt find out any difference between the usual idly and this brown rice idly,when served with thick vegetable sambhar,this fluffy idlies tastes super delicious and filling...Am gonna skip completely the idly rice for making idly for the upcoming days.
2cups Brown rice
1/2cup Whole urad dal (without skin)
1/2tsp Fenugreek seeds
Salt
Wash and soak the brown rice and whole urad dal with fenugreek seeds separately for atleast 4 hours, grind as bit coarse slightly thick batter with enough water in a grinder and add enough salt, mix well and keep it for fermentation, the next day while making idlies, give a stir to the fermented batter and pour enough fermented idly batter to the greased idly plates and cook in idly cooker for 10-15minutes..
Serve this healthy idlies with any sort of spicy chutneys or sambhar..

Nice twist to the suual idlis...sounds healthy twist Priya
Will it be soft?
I have never tried brown rice for idlli batter; in Palakkad we use the matta ari so the idlli's have a slight pink-brown shade and the aroma of the rice! :-)
Priya, is this matta rice you are talking about...i thought brown rice is too hard to grind in mixie...your idili looks tempting and I am tempted to try...so wondering which brown rice.
A different make of idlis... Looks soft...
Soft and delicious idli,looks superb
very healthy version of idli..i too posted idli recipe today ..
Very good..now idlis become super healthy!

Brown rice idli looks awesome. love it.
Lovely, Priya - I am not a huge fan of brown rice, altho I know it is healthier -This seems straightforward and i will try it
Wow Priya thas two idlies are not enough for me give me some more so tempting plater dear.
The idly looks fantastic. Superb!!! :)
very healthy dish.. i love idly.. would def try to make it with brown rice. less carbs is always good for health. lovely idly..
Wow...Love the idly...I used to add 3 :1 ratio br:uraddal....thanks for sharing...

It's been a while since I've made idli/sambar, looking at your picture my craving for these have started. Brown rice idlis sounds pretty interesting and healthy too.
