What is Mappilai Samba rice??? Mappila Samba rice TamilNadu Native Special Rice, Despite the name, which may sound funny if you translate it directly Bridegroom rice but it just like any other rice with extra nutrition-packed, more fiber & red in color.
Will Mappilai Samba Rice idli will be soft ??? How it Tastes??? Trust me, if you follow the same procedure and exact measurement we will make super soft idli just like our normal idlis. Also about the taste, it tastes exactly like our regular idli dosa, not much difference.
How to Ferment Idli batter in Winter??? Usually in winter idli batter will not ferment easily it will take time. To make it ferment perfectly. Soak the rice and dal overnight. The next day morning grinds the batter and lets it ferment in the daytime by keeping the batter in a warm place like a preheated oven, under light, or just near the window. I use to keep the batter just near my balcony window.
For my Dubai Readers, Mapillai Samba rice is available in Selvi Organic Store. They are supplying unpolished and super quality rice. Check their website for online orders.
How to make Mappillai Samba Arisi Idli Recipe,
- 2 cups Mapillai samba rice
- ½ cup urad dal(i used udhayam urad dal)
- 1 tsp methi seeds
- 1 & ½ tsp salt
- 1 & ½ cup water
- Like normal Idli dosa batter, the Mappila samba idli dosa batter is the same ratio 4:1. So today I am taking 2 cups of Mappilai samba rice and ½ cup of Urad dal(use the good quality urad dal) wash and rinse the rice and dal 2 to 3 times. Because unpolished rice has dust in it.
- Once washed soak them separately. I soaked the Mappilai Samba Rice in one bowl and the urad dal and 1 tsp methi seeds in another bowl.
- Let it soak for 5 to 8 hours. This rice needs more soaking time and here it is winter so I am soaking it overnight(complete 8 hours) and the next morning at 6 am I am Grinding the Idli batter.
- Grind the urad dal + methi first with little water(approximately ⅓ cup to ½ cup). Don’t add water at a time and grind. Add water little by little and grind it. I ground the batter in Mixie and it required ⅓ cup + 3 tbsp water. Again the water quantity differs according to the urad dal quality so add water little by little and grind it. Transfer the ground urad dal batter in a bowl.
- Add rice to the mixie jar, add ½ cup of water and grind it. Mappilai Samba rice takes a little more time to grind than the normal rice so grinds it in intervals. If you are using more quantity and grind it in batches. Grind it to a smooth paste, add a little more water if required. I have added ¾ of water to grind the rice.
- Don’t add more water. Just add as much as required. Transfer the ground rice batter to the bowl which has urad dal batter, add 1 & ½ tsp salt and use your hand mix well.
- Mix well so that the salt will dissolve and both the batter should combine.
- Cover and leave it undisturbed for 8 hours, in a warm place and let it ferment.
- Once fermented, mix the batter well and then drop the batter on idli mold and steam the idli for 15 mins or until it cooks.
- Once idli is done, serve hot.
- Super soft Mappilai Samba idlis are ready to serve.
Step By step Mappilai Samba Idli Batter recipe,
Like normal Idli dosa batter, the Mappilai samba idli dosa batter is the same ratio 4:1. So today I am taking 2 cups of Mappilai samba rice and ½ cup of Urad dal(use the good quality urad dal) wash and rinse the rice and dal 2 to 3 times. Because unpolished rice has dust and husk in it.
Once washed soak them separately. I soaked the Mappilai Samba Rice in one bowl and the urad dal and 1 tsp methi seeds in another bowl.
Let it soak for 5 to 8 hours. This rice needs more soaking time and here it is winter so I am soaking it overnight(complete 8 hours) and the next morning at 6 am I am Grinding the Idli batter.
Grind the urad dal + methi seeds first with little water(approximately ⅓ cup to ½ cup). Don’t add water at a time and grind. Add water little by little and grind it. I ground the batter in Mixie and it required ⅓ cup + 3 tbsp water. Again the water quantity differs according to the urad dal quality so add water little by little and grind it. Transfer the ground urad dal batter in a bowl.
Add rice to the mixie jar, add ½ cup of water and grind it. Mappilai Samba rice takes a little more time to grind than the normal rice so grinds it in intervals. If you are using more quantity and grind it in batches. Grind it to a smooth paste, add a little more water if required. I have added ¾ of water to grind the rice.

Cover and leave it undisturbed for 8 hours, in a warm place and let it ferment.
Once fermented, mix the batter well.
Then drop the batter on idli mold and steam the idli for 15 mins or until it cooks. To check idli done or not, wet your finger and drop a hole on top of idlis, the finger should be clean, idli should not stick on your finger it means idlis are ready to take out. Once idli is done, serve hot.
Super soft Mappilai Samba idlis are ready to serve.
To make Dosa, Dilute the idli batter by adding little water. Heat a Tawa and spread a saddle of batter and once the edges turn golden remove from the stove.
