Quinoa idli/ Instant quinoa idli/ Gluten free quinoa idli 

Quinoa idli is gluten free, nutritious and wholesome meal in itself. These are instant quinoa idli's which require no fermentation. These are healthy, low carb and protein rich idli's. These soft, spongy and wholesome idli's can be served in breakfast or mid day meal. These super grain idli's are prepared by mixing quinoa flour and  oats flour with curd, water, spices and then steamed in idli cooker. 

Quick tip - 

1. Adjust spices according to taste.

2. For Quinoa flour -

I have used pre-rinsed quinoa. Incase 'quinoa' is not pre-rinsed then rinse quinoa with water and sun-dry it completely. Then dry roast it in a wok. Let it cool. Grind it. Powder quinoa/ quinoa flour is ready.

3. For Oats flour - dry roast oats. Let it cool completely. Grind it to a fine powder. Oats flour is ready.

4. Tempering is optional. But adding tempering to idli batter makes idli more flavourful. 

5. If required add a teaspoon of water. Not more than that. Idli batter should be of dropping consistency.
