The idli mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days. Just let it remain at room temperature for 2 hours prior to steaming.
Quantity 40-45 Idlies
Ingredients
3 cups boiled rice
1 cup urad dal (skinless split black gram)
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 teaspoon salt
Oil to grease the Idle Mould
Method
1) Wash & soak rice in a bowl in enough water. Similarly, wash and soak dal in enough water, add fenugreek seeds to the dal. Let it sit for 5-6 hours.
2) Grind them separately to a smooth batter (rice should be a little coarse).
3) Mix both batters well together, add 1 tsp salt & leave it over night in a warm place. Depending on the season the batter takes 7-15 hours to ferment.
4) Take an Idli mould and grease each mould with a little oil/yellow butter or ghee.
5) Pour a spoonful of batter into each mould. Place the mould in a pressure cooker. On a medium flame, steam it for 5-10 minutes.
6) Serve hot with sambhar & chutney.
