A popular konkani dish, loved by all konkanis.
SANNA KHOTTO / IDLI

WHAT YOU NEED

Raw Rice - 1/2 cup

Tur Dal - 1/2 cup

Coconut gratings of - half coconut

Red dried red chilly - 12 -13

Tamarind - a small piece

Asafoetida - size of a kabuli chana

Salt to taste

Also you can mix some onion pieces in the masala and pour in the vessel or Jack fruit leaves container. It is optional, I like it with onion so I prepare 2 types of sanna khotto. One with onions and  another without onion, which is with hing. And you can avoid hing if you use onion.

HOW TO MAKE :

Wash rice and dal and soak in a vessel with enough water for one hour.

Drain the water and keep aside.

Now Grind coconut gratings, red chilly, tamarind, salt and hing.

Grind it for a minute or two. 

Then add rice and dal and grind along with the masala, adding little water, just 2 or 3 rounds. Dal and rice should not be very smooth. The mixture should be coarse.

Now take a flat bottomed vessel. Apply coconut oil, then pour the mixture in the vessel, level the mixture with ladle.

Steam it in the cooker for 20 to 25 minutes. ( do not use weight).

Once cooked open the lid. Cut in to square pieces.

Serve Sanna khotto / idli with coconut oil on the top as a side dish.
