Ingredients

24 servings
  • 2 cupswhite rice, idli or parboiled rice
  • ½ cupurad dal
  • ½ tspfenugreek seeds
  • 1 tspsalt
  • 1 tspvegetable oil, for the moulds

Steps

  1. Rinse the rice, and separately the urad dal with the fenugreek seeds. Soak each in plenty of water for 4 to 6 hours.
  2. Grind the urad dal and fenugreek with a little of their soaking water until light and fluffy. Grind the rice with a little water until it feels like fine semolina.
  3. Mix both batters with the salt in a large bowl. Cover and leave somewhere warm for 8 to 12 hours, until bubbly and nearly doubled.
  4. Grease the idli moulds with the oil and fill each three-quarters full without stirring the batter much.
  5. Steam for 10 to 12 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Rest for 2 minutes, then ease the idlis out with a wet spoon.
