'How to make soft idli using Idli rava.View the description for another method of making this idli batter using mixie. http://www.chitrasfoodbook.com/2013/01/how-to-make-soft-idli-using-idli-rava.html Ingredients used : 1 cup = 200ml OR 240ml (Use same cup to measure all ingredients) Idli Rava - 2 cups ( I used Bhagyalakshmi brand) Round White urad dal - 1/3 cup ( Use 1/2 cup urad dal if soaking idli rava & urad dal together) Salt & water - as needed Method Wash & soak the idli rava & urad dal together for 45 minutes.. Drain the soaked water completely before grinding. Grind half of its amount in mixie adding 1/2 cup of ice cold water & the required salt for 3-5 minutes.After 2 mins , open the lid ,wipe the sides & grind again.Add little more water if its necessary .. Again grind the remaining mixture adding 1/2 cup of water.( Note : Batter will be slightly coarse even if u grind for long time , no need to worry) Mix both the batter using ur hand (Mixing by hand helps for fermentation)..Keep the bowl closed & allow the batter to ferment for 15 hrs minimum. The next morning , batter would have raised well . Mix it well before making idlies. Pour the batter in idli plate , steam it for 6-8 mins & enjoy with ur favourite chutney !! NOTE The maximum amount of water it consumes while grinding is 1.25 –1.5 cups.. Adjust as per ur mixer.I used ice cold water to avoid the mixer getting heated.Normal cold water can also be used.. Fermentation is very important to get soft, non-sticky idlies. People suggest idli rava & dal ratio as 3:1. But 4:1 is enough for soft idlies. If u want , u can add a tsp of soaked fenugreek seeds too to make it healthy.. U can also make crispy dosa using the same batter.'
