This one is also called Malnad kadubu if cooked on a banana leaf. My mom-in-law uses steel tumblers to make kadubu.

- Enjoy the hot idli with a chutney or a side dish of your choice.
Notes:
- Replace channa dal with cooked avarekai/avarekayi/surti papdi to make avarekayi idli.
- If you want the idli a bit spicy, feel free to add finely chopped green chilli.
- In the picture, I have served masala idli with channa dal chutney & chutney powder.
A nice and new version in idli.

This is an ancient dish, a prasadam in the temples and your recipe is not authentic.like most cooks in the internet you have "improved" it by changing the ingredients and the result! This is not kadubu and banana leaves cocnut etc are not used
ReplyDeleteDo some research. It is not difficult
please try to be authentic or give it a different name
A bangalorean of Kanchi origin
@Unknown,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the feedback. I have mentioned that, it is called kadubu when steamed in tumblers or in banana leaves.
If you have the authentic recipe, do share it with us!
Hello Sushma and Unknown. As fellow person from Kanchi, I can understand that Unknown is indignant at finding a totally unrelated recipe being called "Kancheepuram Idlis". However, I appreciate the collection you have here, Sushma. Here is an authentic recipe for Kancheepuram idlis that we call "kovil idlis" (Temple idlis) at home. I hope this will satisfy Unknown as well as clarify the recipe for future visitors. Happy Deepavali to you all!
ReplyDeletePARBOILED RICE (puzhungal arisi) 1 AND 1/2 CUP
RAW RICE (pacharisi) 1/2 CUP
URAD DHAL 1 CUP
PEPPER 1 TSP
CUMIN SEEDS 1/2 TSP
DRIED GINGER POWDER (sukku podi) 1/2 TSP
SESAME OIL 4TBLSP
GHEE/MELTED BUTTER 4TSP
SALT AS NEEDED
METHOD:
Soak the both rice and urad dhal separately in water for 4 hrs. Grind them separately into a coarse batter (some what like rava). Add salt and keep it aside for 8 hrs( or till it gets fermented). The batter should have same consistency as normal idli batter.
Before making the idlis, crush the black pepper coarsely and fry them with cumin seeds in melted butter/ghee. Take care not to burn them. Add them along with ginger powder, sesame oil and the ghee to the batter and mix well. Usually Kanchi idlis are not made in normal idli plates. They are steamed in bowls and cut into shapes (like cakes). Grease a bowl with sesame oil and pour the batter. Steam it for 20 mins or check inserting a tooth pick. If it comes out clean then it is done. You may use the normal idli plates and cook for the same time as normal idlis. Just the shape will be different from the temple idlis.
@Jayanthi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe !
will try it out soon :)

ReplyDeleteMany thanks for posting the recipe. The only minor caveat is that in the koil madappali(temple kitchen) they will use raw rice not boiled rice for obvious reasons!
@Sushma and @Varadachary Swamin, you are both very welcome and totally agree with the "raw rice comment". Nothing can beat the taste of kovil idlis straight from the madappali. Hope you both and your respective families are all well, by God's grace.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jayanthi Santhanam & Varadachary!
