ABOUT Poha Idlis (Soft Flattened Rice Idlis)..... RECIPE

The super soft, fluffy idlis are sure to steal your hearts. Unlike the normal idlis, these are made with very less amount of urad dal. The star ingredient in this being the flattened rice or poha is what makes these idlis soft as a feather. These are made by the process of fermentation and temperature plays a crucial role in this. Allow the batter to ferment in a warm place and in Winters should be allowed to ferment for a longer duration, about 14-20 hours. The fermented batter should also have that faint smell or odour. It indicates that the batter is well fermented. Enjoy these for a healthy breakfast with family and friends on any day or for a weekend special breakfast.
