Grinding Dosa or idly batter in grinder will get soft and fluffy idlies. After coming here to Singapore, I do not own a grinder. I jus manage in grinding in mixie. For 2 or 3 times when i ground the batter, the idlies were not soft. My MIL used to soak rice and urad dal for appam in refrigerator.Then this idea clicked me. I tried soaking in same format and grinding the batter. Its working fine and I get soft fluffy idlies and crispy dosas.
Ingredients:
- Idly rice - 3 cups
- Urad dal - 1 cup
- Fenugreek seeds - 1 tsp
- Salt
- Water
Method:
- Soak rice separately for 7-8 hrs and keep in fridge and soak. Soak urad dal and fenugreek seeds separately for 1 hr in fridge.
- Grind the rice into fine paste.
- Grind the Urad dal separately til it turns white and it leaves bubbles.
- Grind them separately and mix them with salt.
- Leave it overnight to ferment.
- Steam soft idlies the next day .
