Ingredients
- 1 cup moong dal
- 1 chilli
- to taste salt
- 1/2 tsp eno
- water
- 1 onion
- 2 tomato
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 4/5 oz paneer
- 2 clove garlic
- 2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- coriander
Instructions
- 1Soak the moong dal for 4–5 hours, then drain and grind it together with the chilli, salt, and enough water to form a smooth, pourable batter.
- 2Heat a wide skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil, and sauté the chopped onion, diced tomato, and sliced red bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes, adding a pinch of salt.
- 3Stir in the red chilli powder and cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.
- 4In a blender, combine the paneer, remaining tomato pieces, garlic cloves, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water; blend until smooth to create a creamy gravy.
- 5Pour the paneer‑tomato gravy into the skillet, simmer for 5 minutes, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- 6Just before steaming, sprinkle the eno into the moong dal batter and gently fold it in; then pour the batter over the simmering gravy, cover the pan, and steam on low heat for at least 10 minutes until the idlis are set and fluffy.
- 7In a small pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds; let them crackle, then drizzle this hot tadka over the steamed idlis.
- 8Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot, optionally with a side of yogurt or chutney.
