  • For Idli : Drain and grind the rice to a slightly coarse texture and dropping consistency.
  • Drain and grind the dal, sprinkling water as required to a smooth and spongy batter. Mix both batters together.
  • Add salt and set aside in a warm place for 8-9 hours or overnight for fermenting.
  • Mix well and grease the idli holder or pan well and fill each of them with 3/4th full of batter.
  • Steam cook idlis on medium flame for about 10-12 minutes or until done.

  • For Pakodas : Slice each idli from the centre into two halves
  • Spread the mixture on one half and cover it with the other half.
  • Do this with rest of the idlis and keep them aside. Now make a batter of medium consistency using gram flour, salt and water
