c 

Black gram ± 1 cup (whole)


Par boiled rice ± 3 cups
Fenugreek seeds ± 1 tsp
Salt (rock) ± 3 tsp

î  
        

Soak rice separately for 3 hours. Dhal and fenugreek seeds need to be
soaked together for about 3 hours. After that grind dhal till it becomes smooth and frothy.
Rice should be grinded to a coarse consistency. Add salt and the ground dhal to the rice
mixture before removing from the mixer or grinder.

Store this in a large vessel so that there is enough space for batter to rise. Grinding and
storing of batter should be done the previous day, preferably in the night so that the batter
would be ready the next day. The batter should be allowed to ferment for about 15 ± 18
hours. The next day, mix the batter well and pour well in greased idli plates and steam for
10 minutes in a pressure cooker. Enough water should be used to prepare and grind the
batter the previous day. Water should not be added the next day after it ferments. Dhal
should be ground preferably in a grinder for at least 30 ± 40 minutes for it to become
frothy.

Serve this hot steamed idlis with coconut chutney or Sambar.
