  • Flatten Rice - 1/4 cup
  • Fenugreek seeds methi - 1 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Water - as required room/ cold temperature water is preferable for grinding

Instructions

  • Wash and soak hand pound rice and Idli rice for in room temperature water for 8-9 hours or hot water for 4-5 hours changing water once in 2 hours. Drain the soaked water completely
  • Wash and soak Urad dal, flattened rice and fenugreek seed for 2-3 hours
  • In a grinder first grind the Urad dal mixture with little water. Sprinkle water once in a while. Once the mixture ya ground we’ll transfer into a vessel
  • Grind the rice with little water.sorinkle water once in a while
  • Once the rice is ground well add the dal mixture and required salt. Ground everything together for 10 minutes
  • I turn on the oven light and Cover the batter vessel with a plate and let it ferment over night or 12 hours. I keep the batter vessel over a plate, so that after fermenting if the batter overflow, the batter won't mess the oven:-)
  • After the standing time the batter would be raised well. Mix it once using a ladle
  • Idli:
  • Grease the idli mould with little oil. Pour ladle full of batter to the idli mould ( around 3/4 of each indent) and cook them in idli steamer/ cooker for 10 -12 minutes or until done. After the steam relases, remove the cooked soft idli with the help of spoon and serve hot with chutney and sambar
  • Dosai
  • Add little water to make it a thin batter(Usual dosai batter consistency). Heat the skillet on medium heat and spread some oil on it. Pour ladle full of batter and spread it to make a thin dosai. Drizzle oil and flip after one side is cooked and cook other side
