Cooking Instructions

4 steps

Step 1: भिगोना चावल और मेथी दाना को अलग बर्तन में 5–6 घंटे भिगो दें। उड़द दाल को अलग से 4–5 घंटे भिगोएँ।

Step 2: पीसना पहले उड़द दाल को थोड़ा-थोड़ा पानी डालकर फूला हुआ और मुलायम बैटर पीसें। चावल को थोड़ा दरदरा पीसें। दोनों बैटर मिलाकर अच्छी तरह फेंटें।

Step 3: Fermentation बैटर में नमक मिलाएँ। ढककर 8–12 घंटे (गर्म जगह पर) फरमेंट होने दें। ✔ बैटर फूला और हल्का खट्टा होना चाहिए।

Step 4: इडली बनाना इडली स्टैंड में हल्का तेल लगाएँ। बैटर डालें और स्टीमर/कुकर में 10–12 मिनट भाप में पकाएँ। ठंडा होने पर इडली निकाल लें।
