If you have bread, you have ready meal for the day. Bread is a must in most households and mine is not exceptional. White, brown, grains, and nuts bread are what we usually have in our bread tray which, will make into our dinner or breakfast table in a different form. I have made bread thosai,bread pudding,bread puttu and etc with humble bread. Today, it's time for bread idli.
No fermentation required for the recipient, all you need is to let the batter rest less than thirty minutes for a soft and spongy bread idli. I used white bread for the recepi, brown bread goes well too. Important step in making this delicious idli is the ingredients. Make sure you use sour yogurt and soda bicarbonate for the texture. Fruit salt works good too. Since no fermentation, the acidity of sour yogurt and soda bicarbonate helps to build the much needed instant fermentation process. Serve with curry of your choice and chutney.
Ingredients
5 pieces white bread
1 cup semolina
Pinch of soda bicarbonate
1 cup plain sour yogurt
Salt to season
Water as needed
Methods
Trim the bread edges, torn into pieces and grind into fine powder.
In a large bowl, add the ground bread, semolina,salt,yogurt,soda bicarbonate and water. Mix well to form a thick batter.
Cover and let it rest for 20-25 minutes. Give a stir and check the consistency. The batter shouldn't be too thick or too runny. If it's too thick, add water as needed to form idli batter consistency.
Prepare idli steamer. Grease the idli mould and pour the batter over. Steam for 8-10 minutes or, till the the idli well set over medium heat.
Serve with chutney.
