INGREDIENTS :-

* Idli rice - 2 cup

* Whole Urad dal - 3/4 cup

* White Flattened rice - 3/4 cup

* Fenugreek seeds - 1 tsp

* Salt - to taste

METHOD :-

* Wash the rice, urad dal and fenugreek separately. 

* Soak these ingredients separately for 3 hours. 

* After 3 hours, refrigerate for  these for another 3 hours. ( if not refrigerated, it will heat up while grinding on the mixer jar. If you are grinding on a grinder you need not refrigerate it) 

* Drain out the water from the rice and fenugreek. 

* Then drain the water from the urad dal and save the water from the urad dal for grinding. 

* Before grinding, add the flattened rice to a bowl and add 1/2 cup of water. 

* Soak this for 5 minutes. 

* Then to a mixer jar first add urad dal. 

* First grind it without adding water. 

* Then add little by little water.(drained water from the urad dal)

* Grind this till it becomes thick, soft buttery texture.

* Transfer this to a mixing bowl. 

* Then grind the rice in one or two batches by adding little by little water. ( water drained from the urad dal, need about 1 1/2 cup of water) 

* Grind it to a smooth paste, yet slightly grainy. 

* Transfer this to the same mixing bowl that we have added the urad dal paste. 

* Then grind the soaked fenugreek seeds and soaked flattened rice. 

* Grind to a smooth paste. 

* Transfer this to the same mixing bowl. Then add salt. 

* Mix well and combine with your hands. Batter should occupy half of the bowl otherwise it will overflow while fermentation. 

* Close the lid. Do not close it tightly. 

*Allow to ferment. 

* Depending on the climate it will take 8 - 9 hours. 

* After fermentation. Open the lid. Mix it gently. 

* Add water to the idli steamer. 

* Let it boil. 

* Grease oil on the idli mould. 

* Then pour the idli batter using a ladle. 

* Then place it on the top of the steamer. 

* Close it. 

* Cook for 8 - 10 minutes on medium to high flame. 

* Turn off the flame. 

* Take out the mould from the steamer. 

* Then sprinkle some water on the idli to prevent drying out the outer portion of the idli. 

* Let it sit for 2 minutes. Then de mould it. 

* Soft idli is ready to serve. 

ENJOY!!!!
