Steps to make Rice Cake/Giant Idli with Harissa Paste & Podi:
  1. To make the Idli: - Wash the Daal thoroughly in a medium bowl until the water runs clear.
  2. Soak covered in 2-3 cups of water & the Methi Seeds for about 2 hours.
  3. Place the Idli Rava in a large bowl.  - Add 4-5 cups of water & let it soak covered for about 2 hours as well.
  4. Drain the water from the Daal & the Idli Rava.  - Grind the Daal along with the Methi Seeds & 3/4th cup of freshwater.
  5. Mix it with the Idli Rava. Mix well.  - Cover with a tight lid or Cling Wrap & leave it to ferment overnight or 8-10 hours.
  6. Note: During hot summers the batter may rise in just 4 to 5 hours & during winters it may take up to 16 hours or so.  - Add Salt when ready to cook.
  7. Heat 2 cups of water in a large pot. - Place a trivet in the pot. - Grease a 7” springform cake pan. - Wrap aluminum foil around it so that the batter doesn’t leak. - - Check the level of water. It should not be over the trivet.
  8. Pour the batter in the springform pan. - Place it in the pot carefully on top of the trivet when the water comes to a boil over high heat. Cover.  - Reduce heat to medium. - Steam for 30 minutes.
  9. When done, take out carefully & unmold. - - Level the top with the help of a long serrated knife or cake leveler in a sawing action.
  10. Place it in a plate, upside down. - Decorate if desired.
  11. Note: I poured the Harissa Paste in a squirt bottle & made the Cookpad logo.
  12. Serve hot with Sambar/Coconut ChutneyHarissa Paste/Podi.
  13. 2.To make the Harissa Paste: - Place the chillies in a bowl and cover with boiling hot water. Soak for 1 hour.
  14. Meanwhile, place the cumin, coriander, fennel and caraway in a dry frying pan over high heat. Toast for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, till fragrant.
  15. Remove the spices from the pan immediately to prevent burning.  - - Let the spices cool completely. - - Coarsely grind the spices in a dry grinder or use a mortar & pestle.
  16. Drain the chillies, reserving a few tablespoons of the chilli water.
  17. Roast the bell peppers on open flame turning frequently until charred from all sides. Let them cool completely.
  18. Cut the top & the membrane. Remove the seeds & discard. - Peel the skin. Reserve a little bit of the charred skin for a nice smoky flavor.
  19. Place the garlic & bell peppers in a food processor with a bit of the chilli water. Blend thoroughly. Add the chillies, spices, salt and vinegar. Process for several minutes, till smooth.
  20. With the food processor running, begin adding a slow, steady stream of olive oil to the mixture. Stop adding once a paste-like consistency is achieved (you may not need all of the olive oil).
  21. Store in sterilized glass jars.  - Stays good in the refrigerator for 6 months or so.   - Use as required.
  22. 3.To make the Idli Podi: - Roast the daals separately with a few drops of oil over medium heat until you get a nice nutty aroma.
  23. Be extra careful not to burn them otherwise, it will alter the taste completely. - Transfer to a large plate.
  24. Now, roast the sesame seeds just for about 2 minutes. That’s all it takes. Remove.
  25. Finally roast the red chilies. Again chilies tend to get roasted quickly so be careful not to burn them. - Remove.
  26. Once all the roasted ingredients are on the plate, add asafetida, salt & sugar while still somewhat warm. Once the mixture is cooled completely, grind to a coarse powder in a dry grinder or coffee grinder.
  27. Your podi is ready to be served with idlis/dosas. - - Tip: Use sesame oil to mix with your podi. No other oil seems to match up to that extraordinary taste. - - Store in an airtight jar. Use as required.
