Protein-packed pillowy soft steamed quinoa idli is a very healthy snack dish for holidays. Rinse the quinoa and rice under running water until the water turns clear and then soak the quinoa and rice together in enough water (around 2.5 cups) for around 6 hours. Similarly, rinse urad dal with running water until the water turns clear and then soak in enough water (around 2 cups) with 1 teaspoon of methi seeds for 6 hours. After 6 hours, drain water in which quinoa and rice were soaked using a strainer. Then transfer the drained quinoa and rice to a high-speed blender. Add around 1 cup of cold water and grind to a smooth paste. Transfer the ground quinoa and rice to the steel pot of the Instant Pot. Similarly, drain the dal and methi seeds using a strainer and then transfer them to a blender. Grind the dal to a smooth paste using cold water as needed. Transfer it to the same pot as the ground quinoa and rice. Add 1 teaspoon salt here. Now, using clean hands, mix both batters along with the salt. Mix really well using your hands for 2 minutes, this helps in fermentation. The consistency of the batter should be free-flowing. It should not be runny but it should not be super thick either. If it doesn’t have a flowing consistency, you can add more water at this point. Now cover the pot with a glass lid. Steam the idlis and Serve quinoa idli with Sambhar and coconut chutney!
