Notes

  1. Back in India, we keep the batter outside but here in the USA, I prefer keeping it in the oven turning on the light for better fermenting. You can also ferment batter in an instant pot in yogurt mode
  2. I have soaked everything together. instead, you can soak rice and dal separately       
  3. If you doubled the quantity you can even grind in a grinder      
  4. Adjust water according to your rice and dal quantity
  5. Refrigerating soaked dal + rice helps for easy and smooth grinding in mixie
  6. Idli steam cooking time may vary
