KANCHIPURAM IDLI RECIPE
Kanchipuram idli is a Traditional dish made for breakfast and even for dinner which i learnt from my friend, and the original recipe she got from her grandmother,who is an expert is making kanchipuram idlis.
A friend of mine served this during navaratri, when we went to her house for golu. This idlis stays soft even after few hours.
INGREDIENTS:
METHOD:
Note:
A friend of mine served this during navaratri, when we went to her house for golu. This idlis stays soft even after few hours.

INGREDIENTS:
IDLI RICE | 1 AND 1/2 CUP |
RAW RICE | 1/2 CUP |
URAD DHAL | 1 CUP |
PEPPER | 1 TSP |
CUMIN SEEDS | 1/2 TSP |
GRATED GINGER | 1/2 TSP |
SESAME OIL | 1TBLSP+1/2 TSP |
GHEE | 1TSP |
SALT | AS NEEDED |

METHOD:
- Soak the raw rice, idli rice and urad dhal together in water for 5-6 hrs or overnight.
- After 6 hrs, grind it in grinder. While grinding do not make it too smooth , let it be little coarse.
- Add salt and keep it aside for 8 hrs( or till it gets fermented).
- The batter should be of normal idli batter consistency.
- Before making, take a portion of batter in a vessel.
- I took a cup of batter.
![]() | ![]() |
- Crush the pepper coarsely and add the Whole cumin seeds.
- Add the grated ginger, 1 tblsp of sesame oil and ghee.
- mix together nicely . 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.

- Allow it to cool for 5 mins and invert it in a plate.
- Cut into pieces and serve with Idli Milagai Podi.

Note:
- A cup of fermented batter yielded 4-5 small pieces.
- Hours of fermentation vary depending on the weather conditions.
- You can add a tsp of dry ginger powder(sukku) to the batter, if you like the flavor.
- Do not skip the mentioned oil and ghee . Addition of this will make the idli very soft and moist.
- This will taste delicious when consumed after 2 hrs from making.

ReplyDeletehttp://recipe-excavator.blogspot.in
New to your blog...First of all the blog looks great and all recipes are interesting. Lovely and tempting pictures as well. Great job! But just one small remark on the Kancheepuram idlis. In Kovil idlis/Kancheepuram idlis (the way they make it at Sri Varadharaja temple) we do not add fresh ginger only sukku (ground dry ginger). Other wise the recipe is spot on and I am sure tastes lovely. My family is from Kancheepuram and we call them kovil idlis and is a regular dish for us at home. You can find my recipe for the same at
ReplyDeletehttp://kuttybear-toddlerfoodideas.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/kancheepuram-idliskovil-idlis-iyengar.html
I have no intention of criticizing your lovely blog. Just wanted to help with best intention. Happy blogging.
Hi jayanthi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. I didn't sukku powder as didn't have it. Thanks for telling me in a nice way. Appreciate your words.
Keep visiting
I have a doubt. should we temper the Pepper & cumin seeds.?
ReplyDeleteShould we mix batter after fermenting & take 1 Cup out of it.
No need to temper pepper and cumin seeds. You add it as it is. Mix the batter after fermentation
Deletecan we steam in pressure cooker (without weight) like dhokla for 10 mins.
ReplyDeleteYes you can do it
