These are different from the regular white rice idlis. I added red rice to the regular idli recipe to see if they taste as good as the original ones. It turned out quite good. And of course, its healthier too!

Ingredients(12-14 rice cakes)
​1/2 cup of idli ponni rice
1/2 cup of red rice
1/2 cup of split urad dal with skin
1/2 cup of rice flakes (poha)
1/2 tsp baking soda
Salt per preference

​Method
1) Put the 2 types of rice in a mixing bowl and the urad dal and rice flakes in another mixing bowl.

2) A close up of the ingredients.

3) Soak them in water (any amount as long as they are immersed totally in it) at around 10 am and leave them near a window for warmth. In the night at around 9pm, grind them separately and add in the baking soda. Mix all together.

4) Leave it overnight to ferment in a covered metal container immersed in another container of hot water, plastic preferably. So that the heat from the water conducts and stays with the metal container and it doesn't transfer to the metal container it is soaking in.

5) In the morning, your batter would have fermented and risen. Then, add salt and steam your idlis in your idli steamer per your usual way.

6) Enjoy delicious healthy red rice idlis!

Oi,Nilofar;não durmo à noite.Foi apenas uma ideia.A noite é muito curta,por aqui.Verei se anoto durante o o dia...Boa Tarde ! Aqui são 01:42 da madrugada.Certos alimentos,tipo salame em conserva fritos com ovos,por exemplo,torna a 'digestão' difícil,e acaba por promover uma queda brusca de 'energia vital',pelo menos por 3 horas.Não 'conserva',mas 'conservantes químicos'.Quando acordar,vou ver se anoto;são mais 'leves e saudáveis'. Boa Noite !!!

Thank you but because I don't understand a word you are saying, I can only hope it is something positive. :)
