Vegetarian Food:pls help in preparing idlis.
2007-07-19
Name: neha



Hi,
Whenever i prepare idlis some brown spots will come on the idlis and sometimes fully turns into brown colour. I wash urud dal very well and prepare idli mix, add salt and keep it overnight. While preparing idlis in the morning i add pinch of soda.
Can anyone tell where i make mistake and how can i avoid these brown spots.
Thanks.

Hi Neha,

I think the problem is with your utensil. Why dont you change ur Idli plates. Firstly, you pour the batter in a small plate or bowl and steam. See the difference. If you see the idli without any brown spot then you change your idli plate.

Hi pooja,
Thanks for the reply. For 1 cup of urud I add almost 1-½ cup of ground rice. Once I tried without adding soda but still could see brown spots on one or two idlis. Other than that idlis will be very tasty.
