Comments: Hi, I stay in USA and here I get rices like long grain rice and parboiled rice so how do I do idlies in that. Tell me the ratio to make soft and fluffy idlies in these rice varieties.
Name: neelam
City: California, US
Comments: i wanted to ask you many things. Actually u haven't mentioned anything about baking soda. Does the batter ferment well without baking soda in winter. Moreover i have a stainless steel idli mould which doesn't fit well into my cooker. So can i use the same mould to cook the idlis in microwave?

Name: vibha
City: chicago
Comments: Friends i don't know if boiled rice means parboiled or cooked rice but i also live in the USA so here is what i do may be it might help u guys.
I take 1-cup of urad dal
and i start from 3,4, or 5 cups of long grain rice i mean in 1:3or 1:4 or 1:5 ratio for dal and rice soak them seperately for few hrs atleast 3 to 4 hrs grind them seperately,i grind dal very very fine(add a handful of cooked rice or poha soaked in water while you grind the dal) and rice a bit coarse mix them in a large bowl leaving space for fermentation add salt and a tea spoon sugar which helps the batter to ferment.Now mix both well and preheat your oven to 200 F and switch off the oven now place the batter inside the oven a let it ferment overnight,make sure to see tht oven remains warm before yo go to bed some times the oven gets cold.
next morning see the batter fermented due to some reason if it did not work out pls re-heat the oven again and try for few more hrs(it happens specially in winter,i know its hard but cant help if u want idly's)when the batter is ready mould them to idlys.it does't matter if the mould is steel,aluminium or any other.This batter makes 50-60 idlys.
Tip:when u get bored of eating idlys use the same batter to make dosas actually with this batter u can make both. hope this helps

Comments: Many of you guys & ladies are confused about Rice usage.1. Raw rice is Long Grain Rice2.Boiled Rice is Par Bioled Rice, the color will be little dull.3. Udad Dal u get every store in U S.
The secret lies in Grinding Dal with Soaked Fenugreek, first. Then, in the same bowl, grind rice with Salt.
After this mix both the batter in a bowl and leave it for 6 hours if day or 10 hours if night. Then use the fermented batter to have " Lovely Fluffy Idlies" . Enjoy and let me have your comments!!!

Comments: Hi
Raw rice white rice are the one directy obtained from paddy. boiloed rice is prepared from the same paddy but the paddy itself is socked overnight then it is semi bioled and made them to dry in the shade then the husk is removed. these two rices are different in their colour, taste, and cooking time even in their glycemic index(effeciency to convert in to energy)
for making idly boiled rice only be used
dont use microwave for stainless steel vessles. insted we can use kadai with cover. but it will take little longer time to cook

Comments: Here in Kalgoorlie , we don´ t get raw rice but we do get long grain rice, basmati rice and parboiled rice.I love my idlies and dosas. Could any of these grains I´ ve mentioned help to make good idlies and dosas?If so ,please let me know about the proportions too.Thank you.

City: San Francisco
Comments: I tried making dosas using urad dal and brown basmati rice, for a variation on flavor.
I ground the two together after soaking them and the dosas had an excellent flavor.
What I found very interesting is that the batter once made, will ferment by itself, with no need to add a starter. The one thing you have to do is allow enough time for fermentation to occur. If your weather is warm to hot, 12 hours is good and 24 hours will give you a nicely tangy product. It may take longer in cold weather.

Comments: Gopinath, what a wonderful community it is out here!
I just have 2 questions for IDLI batter:
1. are parboiled, ponni and idli rice all the same?
2. when recipes say " boiled" rice should I actually boil the rice?
3. Does pohabeaten rice help
Name: Rohan

Comments: All semi boiled rice is called as Par boiled rice. Idli rice is one among par boiled rice. Idli rice is more ideal, the next best is par boiled rice for Idli´ s. I have done lot of research on it and I make very soft idlis. My wife recently honoured me with doctrate for my research on idli´ s.

Comments: boiled, parboiled, raw are all DIFFERENT!
using each of these gives different qualities in the idly. (unfortunately most of you are wrong and equate boiled and parboiled)
depending on this, sometimes idly turns out to be sticky, or dosa doesnt turn red, etc.
same with using yeast vs methi vs eno vs yogurt for fermentation. it gives different kind of culture in the batter which makes the taste different.
now using poha, methi, yeast, changing proportions are all tricks to get the idly right, given we all have different ingredients.
so people! when you post, please don´ t give generic advice and statements about what is what.
let us know what you exactly used, and if it worked well for you. and what didnt work.

Comments: your recipe is good. My sister adds fenugreek for idli batter also. But I don´ t since fenugreek added batter will be really good for dosa only, as per my knowledge. Is it is necessary or must for idly batter also to get soft idlis? My proportion is 1 cup of boiled rice and 14 cup of urud dal. 1:14. Advise please.

Comments: In my opinion the quality of rice(it changes from species to species and also the age of rice) is solely responsible for the quality of iddly.One has to be lucky.Or in other words one has to mix the God´ s Providence along with the mixture.More philosophical than practical and scientific!!?? Yeh!.Well I am making iddlies every week for the past 35 years.So beginners don´ t lose heart.!!
