Ingredients:
Boiled rice- 4 cups
Raw Rice- 1 Cup
Urad Dhall- 1 cup and a little more
Methi Seeds - 1 tbsp (if required)
Salt- to taste
Procedure:
Soak all the ingredients said above for about 4 to 5 hours separately. You can mix both the rice together and the urad dhal and methis together while soaking.(But I dont use methi seeds as I feel they change the taste of the idlis). Grind urad dhal first in a Mixer grinder or food processor and then the rice. Mix both of them together completely until they are blended together. If you want you may add salt now or you may add salt before making idlis. The idli batter is ready. Allow this to ferment for about 8 to 9 hours in the room temperature. Now put this batter in the idli plate and steam cook them for about 15 to 20 minutes. Simmer the flame, slowly open the lid of the cooker and check whether the idlis are cooked. Switch off if cooked and serve them hot with spicy tomato and onion chutney or coconut chutney or nice hot sambar.
