Black eye bean idli

There was half packet of black eye bean left at my home. I was planning to prepare some curry with it but later after soaking the beans thought why not try idlis with it. I grinded the beans but first tried with only one plate of idli :P But they turned out to be really good. So I emptied all the remaining batter :D
Hope you'll try this at home :)

Ingredients:
Black eye bean – 1 cup
Cumin seeds – 1 spoon
Wheat rava – 3 spoons
Grated carrot – ½ cup
Water
Oil
Salt

Procedure:
Soak the black eye beans for 3-4 hours and grind it into paste.
Take a bowl and add the bean paste, wheat rava, salt and cumin seeds with sufficient water.
The batter should be in idli consistency.
Take the idli plate and grease with oil. Take ½ spoon of grated carrot and place in the idli plate.
Take 1 big spoon of idli mixture and pour in the plate.
Steam the idlis for 10mins and serve hot with your desired chutney J

  1. What chutney is kept in the snap? looks quite different. Can you please post the recipe for it?
    Also, as a bonus, wish to know with which dishes it will go well.

  2. This is not a chutney but tender tamarind leaves powder. Idli goes well with ground chutney or sambar. Very soon will post recipes for few kinds of powders.
