IDLI/ DOSA BATTER

Ingredients

 4 cups Idli rice

1 cup urad dal  without skin

1 tsp Methi( Fenugreek ) seeds

Water as needed

Salt

Procedure

 Wash and soak the rice in water for about 6 hours.

Wash and soak urad dal along with fenugreek (methi) seeds. Let it soak for 6 hours.

Drain the water from urad dal (reserve the water for grinding). Using a wet grinder, grind urad dal by sprinkling water every few minutes until smooth and frothy. The batter will look fluffy. Transfer it to a bowl.

Grind the rice into a smooth paste, adjust required amount of water to grind into an almost batter. Adding too much water will make the mixture too watery.

Combine the urad and rice batter, add salt to taste and set aside for at least 12 hours or overnight until the batter ferments. You will notice the batter would have risen in volume.

You should place the batter in a large container so it has enough room to increase in its volume.
