Idly Batter

Ingredients

• Idly Rava (Fine) - 2 Cups
• Urud Dal - 1 Cup

Makes 1 kg batter. Enough for making 2 idly sets of 4 plates each.

Procedure

• Rinse idly rava and urud dal and soak both in seperate containers overnight
• Grind urud dal to a fine paste. Add little water while grinding. Transfer to a container when done.
• Rinse the urud dal only
• Squeeze the water from the idly rava and add it to the urud dal paste. If idly rava is coarse, grind it once along with urud dal
• Add salt accordingly

Better to keep it overnight when you grind it in the evening around 6 - 7 PM
