1 cup of urdhal
2 cups of rice or idli rava
small cup of cooked rice
5-6 methi seeds
1 tspn of salt
pinch of soda/yeast



METHOD
Soak urdhal, rice and methiseeds for 6 to 7 hrs.
You can soak the cooked rice for 15 minutes before grinding.

First grind urdhal into a fine paste. Then grind the rice, cooked rice and methi seeds (u can grind coarsely -this will result into rava idli)
Let the batter consistency be thick. Dont make it watery.

Let the batter ferment overnight.

Morning you add salt and soda to the batter. Apply ghee to the idli plates or pouches. Pour the batter into idli plates/pouches.
Cook for 12 minutes.

For idli rava
If you are using idli rava.
Just soak the idli rava for 1 or 2 hrs.
After you grind urdhal with cooked rice and methi seeds, drain the idli rava and mix into the batter.

Hope you enjoy them!
