Wat eten we vandaag? Toast met spiegeleieren… maar dan op mijn manier Soms hoeft het niet ingewikkeld te zijn om toch heerlijk te zijn. Vandaag had ik zin in iets eenvoudigs, iets warms, iets dat ruikt naar een rustige ochtend en smaakt naar kleine gelukjes. En zo kwam ik uit bij een klassieker: toast met spiegeleieren — maar natuurlijk op mijn manier, en ja hoor… in de airfryer. Want waarom…

Embark on a culinary journey to create the heartwarming comfort of homemade idlis with our Idli Batter Preparation guide!

Idlis, a beloved South Indian delicacy, are a quintessential part of Indian breakfasts and snacks. Crafting the perfect idli batter is an art that marries simplicity with precision.

Start by combining the finest proportions of rice and urad dal, ensuring a balance between texture and fermentation. The rice provides the idlis with their characteristic fluffiness, while the urad dal imparts a subtle richness and softness.

#RiceAndDalBlend is the foundation of idli batter. Soak the rice and urad dal separately, allowing them to plump up and soften. The grains are then ground to a smooth consistency, using just the right amount of water to create a batter that's neither too thick nor too runny.

FermentationMagic is key to achieving the light and airy texture of idlis. Allow the batter to ferment in a warm, cozy corner of your kitchen, letting the natural processes work their magic. The batter should rise, develop tiny bubbles, and acquire a pleasant tanginess.

Once perfectly fermented, season the batter with salt, giving it a balanced flavor profile. The batter is now ready to be ladled into the idli molds and steamed to fluffy perfection.

Serve your homemade idlis with an array of accompaniments, such as coconut chutney, sambar, or even a tangy tomato chutney. The idlis' delicate flavor and soft texture make them a versatile canvas for various toppings and sides.
