Technology Details:
Idli is an indigenous traditional breakfast food in mostly southern Indian cuisine, which is a steamed product, made from rice semolina and ground pulses and typically served with a spiced vegetable filling or chutney. IIMR has developed a process for manufacture of instant sorghum idli mix where instantly sorghum idli can be made without waiting for fermentation. This is made with pre-treated sorghum fine semolina, ground pulses and food grade additives. This can be instantly made into steamed idli and served with a spiced vegetable filling or chutney. The formulated mix shall be packed in a MPET packing material. Instantly sorghum idli can be prepared reducing the cumbersome time for fermentation. It is rich source of phenolic compounds and causes satiety resulting in slower digestibility. Reduces oxidative stress (Antioxidant). The shelf life of idli mix is 3 months. The instant idli mix has high amount of calcium, iron, zinc and riboflavin when compared to control idli.
