Brown rice idli is a healthy idli variety which I started making at home recently. We all know the amazing health benefits of brown rice but we don’t use it in our regular cooking. So I wanted to start with idli. There is no much difference between this idli and our usual white rice idli. Colour of this idli will be slightly yellow. Do try this recipe , you’ll love for its softness..I also made dosa the next day which tasted good. The only thing which I feel bad is that the batter becomes sour very soon even refrigerated. So we have to make in lesser quantities & keep it for one day.
Try the quantity I mentioned here. This will be enough for three to four people. U can make idli for breakfast & dinner the same day and dosa the next morning. I used poha to reduce the quantity of urad dal. U can make this idli more healthy by adding oats along with the other ingredients. Brown rice has lot of health benefits. Do try this idli recipe. If you are interested, have a look at this oats barley idly recipe as well. Lets see how to make this healthy brown rice idli dosa recipe.

Love this healthy healthy idlis... A question to you - the brown rice we get in the market is not parboiled brown rice - is that ok? Did you use regular brown rice?

Chitu,
Thanks for the recipe. Have to try it sometime with these brown rice.
Soft and healthy Idly..
I tried your idlis and they were nice, fermented well. Only mine turned out a little sticky, don't know why? Any clue? Also could you please tell me which brand of brown rice do you use? Will try that next time.
Thanks for the feedback sukanya. I don't use any particular rice brand.. Did u add oats? If u have added oats ,u may feel slightly sticky.. Please add less amount of urad dal or skip oats when u try next time.. Hope this helps :)
Thanks for your reply Chitra!
Yes I followed your recipe to the T. I loved that you used such super healthy ingredients to make the idlis, so wanted to try it. Needless to say, I was very happy! The batter fermented so beautifully, it was almost overflowing, I love to see that :)
Everyone loved the idlis though tad bit sticky, it was fine with sambar.
I feel my main culprit might be the 100% whole grain short brown rice that I got from an Asian store (big 20lbs bag!). It doesn't look as long grain as yours. So next time will try long grain brown rice and see if there's any difference.
All in all, I am very happy with your proportion, the healthy ingredients and its outcome. This idli will be a regular in our home now. Thanks!
Thanks again .. When u try with the other rice , please let me know about the outcome :)
I tried this....my only concern was even after 2o min of steaming its uncooked in the center.Brown rice takes longer to cook compared to white rice.I guess it needs more time to steam as compared to regular white rice Idlis.
Oh is it , Could u see the batter in the center ?. May be the softness feels like its uncooked. I am planning to post step by step soon. I'll update the pics with the time it takes to cook :) Thanks for the feedback shilpa :)
Good Idea of using brown rice. Planning to try with Brown rice and Moong dal (easy to digest) instead of Urad dal. Manish.
Thanks a lot for this recipe !!
Hi Chitra
Looks sooo yummy and tempting. BUT i am in no luck.
I am using Organic Brown rice from Costco and I dont get the smooth ground rice though I use Ultra grinder. Do you know why?
Thanks
Revathi
Hi,
Iam not sure why it is not grinding smooth. But i think,if u soak the rice for more time,u may get a smooth batter.I usually soak brown rice for 4-5 hours.
I tried and it came out very well mam. Thank you for the healthy recipe
Thank u Ramaa :)
Hi Chitra, I am back to update you. I tried it with regular brown rice and the idlis turned out perfectly soft and spongy. It's a hit at our place and I hardly make white rice idlis now :) Thanks to you!
That's great to know. Many thanks to you for the update :) Is there any brand name for the rice u used ? If so please mention it here.It would be useful for everyone. :)

What kind of blending device did you use? I am American and have never seen one with the 3 wheels like that! Please tell! :) I also am vegan and have celiac disease.. so i have not been able to eat bread for a long time. I ate some Idli for the first time at a friends and I am so excited to try making them!
Hi Alexa,
Its an Indian Mixer Grinder.You can find it in Indian stores :) There are different brands available.You can grind the same in Mixer or Food processor too.Please check my Mixie idli post to get some idea :) Thanks.
Wahhhh new recipes amazing
Hello
Can you please tell the measurements for single person to make this idli...
Hi, use 1/2 cup of brown rice, 1.5 tbsp of urad dal, 1/2 tbsp of poha, 1/2 tbdp of oats, a small pinch of methi seeds.Soak everything together, grind and ferment. Make idlis.
Can we add puffed rice instead of poga. Is there any changes we get in texture of idli if we add puffedrice
Yes u can use. Leftover cooked rice can also be used.
Hi, Have you grounded the rice and lentils together or separately in grinder?
I soaked and ground together
Hi Chitra.
Thank you for sharing this.. I tried it today. Turns out well. I soaked and grinded urad dal + methi separately. Spongy soft idli. Thanks again. 😍
