We make Pacharisi Idly especially for neivedhyam only. Generally Pacharisi Idly tend to be harder so we need to use equal proportion of raw rice and urid dal to make softer idlys. We make pacharisi Idly on Varalakshmi Viratham as well as on Vinakaya Chaturti.

Pacharisi Idly ( Raw rice Idly)

Ingredients:

Raw Rice – 1 cups

Urdhal – 1 Cup

Salt – To taste

Method:

Soak the rice and urdhal separately in water for 2 hours
Grind the urdhal first in grinder by adding water little by little and grind it atleast for 20 mins
Then take the urdhal batter in a separate vessel and add the drained rice to the grinder and grind it till it comes to a soft batter
Finally mix the both batters and add the salt and keep it separately for atleast 12 hours for the batter to undergo fermentation.
Idly batter is ready to use. Pour the idly batter in the idly plates and cook it in pressure cooker for 5-10 minutes
