Soft idlies by jonny

Have you ever wanted to make idlis and then gave up the idea coz it is very messy n difficult n katkat. Well after reading my recipe I bet you will prepare it at least twice a week. And I know this is a hit recipe coz my hubby gave me the best of compliment - "I'm proud of you". n also a kiss. 

Ingridients:

• Idli rice 3 cups
• Udad dal 1 cup
• Salt
• Eno salt (secret ingredient)
• Water

Procedure:

First day:

Soak idli rice in warm water enough for the rice to soak in the morning  around 8 -9 am.

Also soak the udal dal separately in warm water at the same time.The same day at 8 'clock evening grind the idli rice to a fine batter in the mixer.Now grind the udad dal with very little water to a thick paste. Mix the idli batter and the udal dal battter togather , add salt and mix thoroughly. (**do not add lot water like dosa. It should be a thick paste). Let it stand until next day morning with a covered lid.

Next day:

Mix the batter properly and take a little batter {enough for one set of idlies (11-15)} in a bowl.

Add a half spoon of eno to this and mix properly. Now keep the idli container with a little water on the gas and boil it . Place the batter in idli moulds and cover it. Steam it on HIGH flame for 15 mins.

Yummy soft idlies are ready.
