Fluffy Idlis
Ingredients
White Urad dal: 2 measures
Ground rice or rice flour: 4 measures
Yeast: 1/2 tsp.
Cooked rice: 2 tbsp.
Method:
- Soak the urad dal in plenty of water for about an hour.
- Grind it with the yeast and cooked rice till nice and frothy. I make
the final volume of this ground dal 1 pint for every 2 oz of the dry dal.
- Pour this into a basin and blend in the ground rice. Cover with cling
film and leave to ferment overnight.
- Pour the batter into idli moulds and steam for 15-20 minutes and you'll
have hot fluffy idlis to be enjoyed with coconut chutney!
PS: The same recipe can be adapted for making dosa batter. You need to
increase the amount of ground rice to 6 measures for every 2 measures of
dry dal.
