Mallige Idli Recipe |Jasmine idli |snow white idli

My first venture with making idli on my own began 2.5 yrs ago when we shifted to hyderabad ,where my neighbour aunty taught me make idli at home right from the batter .
My first attempt of making super soft idli using idli rava was successful.

Here in hyderabad i learnt to make different  types of idli which you can check by clicking on idli varieties.

Once we shifted to bangalore I came across this MALLIGE IDLI   .

.Soft, fluffy, white and light !  The  white puffy steamed idlis are called so because of extra softness of these idlis.

Mallige Idli is one of the most common and versatile Karnataka breakfast made with beaten rice or Poha, cooked rice, idli rice, sour yoghurt and urad dal. These Idlis are  very healthy with almost nil fat content in them.

Mallige in Kannada means Jasmine, hence this dish is also known as Jasmine idli and as Kushboo Idli in Tamil Nadu.

Mallige Idli or Jasmine Idli is very soft and fluffy and popular in Mysore and Mangalore.
Spongy Idlis with coconut chutney served along with delicious piping hot sambar surely makes a delightful meal
