Greetings,

Assalamu Alaikum. how are you all. I hope everyone is safe by the grace of God. I am also fine Alhamdulillah.I am participating Steemit Challenge Season-30 Week-1 || "Traditional Steam Cooking -Idlis".Thank you @jyoti-thelight for this Steam Cooking food challenge.

Ingredients

Making process

Step- 1

To make Idlis, first gather all the ingredients. I will wash one cup of rice thoroughly. Then I will soak this rice in water. I will soak one teaspoon of fenugreek seeds along with the rice. I will let the rice soak for about 5 hours.

Step- 2

After soaking the rice, I wash the mas urad dal very well. Let it soak together with the rice and dal for about 5 hours.

Step- 3

After 5 hours, take the rice and dal separately in a blender jar and grind them well. You need to take some time to grinding them well to make soft and fluffy idlis.

Step- 4

Mix the rice batter and dal batter in a bowl. Add salt to taste. Make a smooth batter and leave it to rest in a cool place for eight hours.

Step- 5

Now I will take a small bowl and brush some oil in it. When I finish brushing the oil, I will take a little batter from the idli batter in it. I have taken this batter in two small bowls.

Step- 6

Now I will put water in a big pot. When the water gets hot, I will put a stand in it and place two small bowls on it. Then I will put the lid on and wait for 10 to 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, I will check with a knife whether the idli is cooked or not. If the knife comes out clean, my idli is cooked. When I remove it from the stand and unmold it from the bowl, my idli is ready to serve.

Traditional Steam Cooking is where food is cooked through water steam rather than by immersing it directly in water. In this case, the food is cooked by boiling water in a steamer or a large pot and placing a mesh over it. The food will be cooked in the steam of the boiling water.For example, steamed pitha, steamed shrimp, steamed puli, etc.

Steamed food retains its vitamins and other nutrients. Therefore, steamed food is healthier than fried food. Moreover, fried food causes various stomach problems including gastritis. Steamed food is easily digested, so this food is suitable for people of all ages. The original taste and smell of steamed food is preserved. Steamed food is an ideal food for those who want to lose weight.

All the ingredients used to make Idli are

1.Rice
2.Urad dal
3.Fenugreek seeds
4.Salt
