Instructions
- Soak the rice in water for 4-5 hours. Drain and blend it with the sprouted green gram and water to make a smooth batter.
- Add salt to the batter and mix well. Let it ferment for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Once fermented, gently fold in the Eno fruit salt into the batter.
- Grease the idli molds with oil and pour the batter into the molds.
- Steam the idlis in a steamer or pressure cooker (without the weight) for about 10-12 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the idlis from the molds and serve hot with chutney or sambar.
Tips
- Ensure the batter is not too thick; adjust the water as needed.
- Fermentation time may vary depending on the climate.
