This typically coastal Indian food is eaten with curries, stir-fries and even on its own. There's nothing like warm, soft and fluffy Sannas to go with chicken sukka, a pork vindaloo or sorpatel!
Ingredients
-
2 cups (500 grams) rice
-
2 medium coconuts
-
1 pint (500 milliliters) Goan toddy or 2 1/2 teaspoons dried yeast
-
2 teaspoons sugar (to mix with yeast if using)
-
Salt, to taste
-
4 teaspoons sugar, to add to batter
-
1 cup warm water, if using yeast
Steps to Make It
-
Wash the rice well and soak in water overnight. In the morning, drain the water and grind the rice into a fine paste with a little toddy. If you are not using today, grind the rice on its own.
-
Scrape the coconut out of the shell and grind it into a paste too.
-
If you are using the yeast, mix it with 2 teaspoons of sugar and the warm water. Stir well. Allow to sit for a few minutes and it will begin to rise.
-
Mix the rice and coconut pastes together in a large, deep bowl and add the toddy/ yeast water. Mix well to form a thick batter.
-
Allow this batter to ferment for 4 to 5 hours.
-
Grease an Idli stand (or small ramekin dishes with a little cooking oil and pour enough batter into the mold/ramekin dishes to fill about 3/4 of the way.
-
Put the Idli stand/ ramekin dishes into a steamer and steam for 20 minutes at least (or till cooked - a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean) on high flame.
-
When cooked, gently remove from the Idli molds/ramekin dishes and serve hot with a curry of your choice.
