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.
