Goli idli recipe | masala rice balls recipe | masala goli idli

It is an easy and less-oil breakfast recipe made with tiny pebbles of rice flour balls. these rice balls are steamed till it becomes soft. it is healthy and prepared with minimal ingredients. It is generally served with a choice of spicy red chutney or coconut chutney. In this recipe, I share 2 types of idli one are original goli idli with tadka and another spicy version which is not an authentic goli idli version. So with minimal ingredients do try this!

The key to making soft and tasty goli idli at home are
  • Firstly, I grind raw rice and make a fine powder of it but you can use store-bought rice flour or idli Rava, Bombay rava to make this idli.
  • Use 1:2 ratios of rice flour and water to cook it, if you add less water then rice dough will be properly cooked.
  • Knead the rice dough really well, to get super-soft idli.
  • These idli are best steamed in a large kadai also balls may not overlap each other while steaming.
  • Make sure to steam the idli on medium flame else the idli will turn hard.
  • Lastly, goli idli tastes great when bite-sized balls are prepared and served with spicy red chutney.
