IDLI BATTER

Idli is made in India and very widely popular. The main thing about it, it needs to ferment very nicely. When you keep on doing it you will get it.(practice makes perfect) This batter is also used to make dosai,kuzhi paniaaram,etc., (i will write this one separately)

Ingredients:

Urad dal - 1 cup
Par boiled rice - 4 cups
(soak for 3 to 4 hours)
Salt
(If you are going to use a grinder you can even have 5 cups of rice to 1 cup of urad dal.)

Method:

1. Nicely grind urad dal in the blender(Grinder would be perfect)

2.Coarsely grind rice (Not very coarsely)

3.For every cup add less than 3/4 but more than 1/2tsp of salt.

4.Add salt and mix both the batter and leave for one night.

5.It's needs to ferment nicely if not idli's won't be good.

6. Once it's fermented take the idli moulds and pour some batter and steam the idlis on pressure cooker for 10 mins.

7. You can also make dosai with the same batter. 


Tips and warning:

The batter has to come up fermenting otherwise you won't get good idli's.
