Mini Idli Sambar Recipe - Ghee Idli Sambar Recipe - Sambar Idli

Mini Idli Sambar is an unbeatable combo especially when its served hot hot.Mini Idli Sambar has been on my
todo list since long.Actually I wanted to post mini idli sambar along with Saravana Bhavan sambar recipe but
last week I clicked it along with my usual sambar recipe itself sure to post the hotel sambar sometime soon. I
have tasted sambar idli quite a few times and I love it a lot in certain hotels esp Annapoorna and Anandas
are my favorites.....esp with ghee drizzled its yummm.
The knack to get perfect sambar idli is to make the idli texture porous so that it absorbs the sambar well and
for sambar, though tiffin sambar suits well for mini idli I would recommend using arachuvitta sambar which is
thick and flavourful and gives the hotel taste.
I was also waiting to get a new idli cooker as my old one got spoilt as its been many yrs. I already have a
separate mini idli pot which you can see in my pepper idli and podi idli post....but that pot is so tiny it can
steam only 8 mini idlis at a time.
Last time when we went to Chennai, I bought this idli pot the brand name is Amarjothi(I am telling this detail
for few readers who asked me the brand of idli pot I use), this mini idli mould didn't come as a set I got it
separately such that it fixes in my idli stand.

4. Arrange the mini idlis then add more sambar on top.Drizzle ghee.Garnish with chopped onion and
coriander leaves.
Serve hot!
Make sure you grind the idli batter to the correct consitency sot hat your idlis are porous.If the idlis are
poros it will absorb sambar well.
While grinding grind rice little coarse to get the perfect texture.
Sambar should be neither thick nor runny, it should be inbetween.
Once you make the plate ready, serve it immediately.
You can use tiffin sambar or any lunch sambar for this. But my recommendation is for Arachuvitta
Sambar.
Add veggies or a combination of veggies so that sambar is flavourful.I used carrots and shallots(small
onion) for making this sambar.

Hi Sharmi.....we love mini idlis esp the one we get at ID......so coz of our love, I bought a mini idli cooker almost similar
like the one u posted in the post except mine just makes only mini idlis....the prob is the lowest rack gets soggy and
have to literally throw off the idlis in spite of adding very lil water....the next time I tried I added again very less water and
without the weights and left the lowest one free!!!still I cud see water in the lowest rack....could u pls help me with this!!!I
might be going wrong somewhere!!!I do have a idli cooker for the normal idlis and the same prob there tooo....so don't
use it!!!plss help...appreciate if u do a post it!!

issues...not sure why you face the issue

Hello Sharmi, Normally we are grinding cooked rice along with the dal / raw rice to make idly / dosa. But in ur recipe, u r
not using cooked rice. So do we get spongy soft idly without using cooked rice?

Each recipe is different and my recipe doesn't use cooked rice but still the idlis come out super soft.Try this
and see.
