Instant Idli Mix Recipe | Idli Mix Powder | Soft Idli Premix with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Morning breakfast recipes can be a daunting exercise, especially for working parents. Every day, the family members may crave something tasty and innovative. Moreover, these requests can come very late without any notice. One such recipe request can be idli which requires soaking & grounding, but not any more with this premix or also known as the instant idli mix recipe.

I have posted quite a few premixes or travel recipes, but this recipe of idli mix has to be one of the simple recipes. Basically, I have used powdered rice and urad flour as their main ingredients. In other words, I have followed the same proportion of 1:2 ratio of urad dal to rice flour to make this premix. However, I have also added other ingredients like poha, and baking soda for the softness and fermentation process. You may not see these ingredients in a traditional one, but it is important for premix. In addition, while preparing the idli batter, I added sour curd and water which eventually helps to prepare an ideal batter for soft idli’s. I assume the MTR idli mix or the GITS idli premix, should follow the same ingredients but may have additional preservatives for longer shelf life. Do try this way and I am sure you would certainly like it.

Furthermore, some more related additional tips, suggestions and variants to the instant idli mix recipe. Firstly, I have used store-bought rice flour for this recipe for quick turnaround. However, you can also use raw rice and ground it into a fine mixture. Perhaps, you may have to use idli rice for better end results. Secondly, I would heavily recommend using sour curd or yoghurt when you prepare the idli batter. It helps to hasten the fermentation process and also for soft and moist idli. Lastly, if you wish to prepare sooji or rava idli you may replace the rice flour with rava. Also, you may replace it with idli rava for a much easier option.
