Idli

So Ro wanted to know how idli is made. People have different measures and swear by them. Mine is - 2 raw rice. 2 boiled rice. 1 urad dal. Soak dal and rice separately. 6 hrs. Grind separately. Add salt and mix. Ferment. Scoop out in moulds and steam.

But if you can't get udad where you live and don't have a mixi, make rava idli.
Semolina. You should get it anywhere in the world.

Oil. Heat. Add mustard, jeera, chopped green chilli, ginger, chana dal, hing, and say...two cups of semolina. Roast. Add 2 cups curd. ( not while its roasting! After it cools) Add Salt. Add water to make idli batter consistency. Leave for 10 mins and make idlis. You can add a bit if cooking soda. It helps. To the batter, you could also add carrots, coriander, kadi patta.

You won't have idli moulds. Steam in cups or plates.


Tell me how it came out. Should work.
