Hello friends,

How are you all, I hope you are well. By the grace of God, I am also well. Today I came here to make a new post. But today I am going to participate in a competition. Honestly, I like participating in recipe competitions a lot. But I really liked this week's subject "Traditional Steam Cooking -Idlis". Thank you very much to @jyoti-thelight for giving us such a beautiful contest. I have never actually made the recipe. This was the first time I made it. But I had been thinking of trying this recipe for a long time. But this time, the contest was very beneficial for me. I was also able to try it with my own hands. Here I have made very beautiful idli with just a few ingredients. Moreover, it is also very tasty to eat. And since I have made it this way, it is very healthy. I hope you will also like my recipe today.

Ingredients

• Rice
• Lentils
• Fenugreek
• salt
• baking soda

Details :

First I took the rice, dal and fenugreek in separate bowls. Then I soaked them all separately in water. I soaked them for about 6 to 7 hours.

Then I washed them well after they were soaked. I washed and cleaned the rice and dal methi. Then I took the rice and put it in a blender.

Then I added dal and methi to it. I added a little water to it. Then I blended everything together well. After blending, I took it in a bowl.

Then I added a little salt and some baking soda to it. I mixed these well into the batter.

Then I took a steel bowl. I brushed some oil in it. Then I took some of this mixture in it. Then I put a steamed pitha pan on the stove. I put water inside. When the water boiled, I put the bowl on it. Then I covered it with a lid.

Then I steamed it in the oven for a while and then I'll see if it's done. Then when I'm done, I take it off the oven. Then I let it cool a little and slowly remove it from the bowl. This is how I made them all.

finale output :

What is traditional steam cooking? Why is it considered healthy?

I think of traditional steamed cooking as foods that are usually cooked in a water bath without being submerged in water. Basically, the food is slowly cooked in the steam that is created by boiling the water. A lot of cooking is done in our country in this method. This cooking method requires very little or no oil. Therefore, it does not reduce body fat much. And this food has a lot of nutritional value. Especially, vitamins and minerals in any food are largely intact. The reason is that they do not get lost in water. They are easily digested. Moreover, these foods are comparatively low in calories. In this case, cooking in a steam bath will be much better for health-conscious people.
