Ingredients

A traditional South Indian dish made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal, cooked to a crispy perfection.

1In separate vessels, soak the white rice and split urad dal in water for 5 to 6 hours.
2Using a mixer grinder, grind the soaked urad dal first, followed by the rice, until smooth. Combine both batters in a large vessel, add salt, and mix thoroughly. Allow the batter to ferment for 12 hours, depending on the ambient temperature.
3Pour the fermented batter into the idli molds. Add 1 cup of water to the cooker vessel, place the idli vessel inside, and steam for 7 to 10 minutes until the idlies are cooked through.
4Remove the idlies from the molds and serve hot with sambar or chutney.
