ABOUT Idli - Vada with Dal & Chutney RECIPE

Soft hot Idlis and crisp vadas with dal and chutney - Total bliss!!! This famous South Indian dish has won over many hearts and definitely needs no introduction.

Instructions

Measure each ingredient and place them in different containers. Wash each ingredient thoroughly. Soak for 8 hours in sufficient water.
Using a mixer grinder make a fine paste of Urad dal. Transfer to a large vessel. Now grind beaten rice/poha to soft paste and transfer to big vessel.
Divide the rice in equal portions and grind each portion to smooth paste. Transfer to large vessel. Now with a ladle mix the batter thoroughly.
I usually divide batter to 3 medium size containers. Make sure the batter has enough space after fermentation. Leave some gap. Place the batter in dark warm place for 6 to 8 hours till its fermented.
Add salt and a pinch of cooking soda before making Idli. Steam for 12 minutes.
