Sannas

Submitted by Girl from India

"Rice breads that are steamed in aluminium bowls/ idli moulds and are lovely when had plain or with curries. Normally toddy is used in this recipe but I make them without it (if you have access to it add it instead of the yeast. )"

 

• Ready In: 6hrs 40mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 cups boiled rice
• 2 cups raw rice
• 3⁄4 cup split white lentils (urad)
• 1 tablespoon dry yeast or 1/2 bottle toddy
• 3 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• salt

directions

1. Wash and soak each of the each kind of rice and the lentils overnight or for 8 hours, separately.
2. Then grind all the three together to a fine paste with the coconut milk.
3. Put the dry yeast in a bowl with sugar and 3 tablespoons warm water.
4. When it froths, add it to the ground batter.
5. Add salt to taste and keep aside for 5 hours till it doubles in quantity.
6. Get the steaming vessel ready on medium flame with the required amount of water in it.
7. Put a tablespoonful of the batter into each of the moulds/ aluminuim bowls and steam on medium heat till the sannas are fluffy and done right through (around 15 mins) or when a skewer pierced into one comes out clean.
8. All of them may not go into the steamer in one round so do them in batches.
