How to prepare idli mix at home

The Times of India

idli mix at home

Here's how you can go about it:

Ingredients

Urad flour: 50 gms Idli rawa or idli sooji: 225 gms Water: 500 700ml Salt to taste

Method

Fetch urad flour available at any flour mill near your area. Flour mills usually stock idli sooji also. So this makes your shopping for the basic ingredients simpler. In a large vessel, take the urad flour, add the idli rawa followed by two to three tsp of salt. Mix the ingredients very well. Add water and mix well so that a batter with the desirable consistency is formed. If you think the batter needs more water, then add some 100 ml water more. But do not make it too watery. Keep the batter aside for about 10 15 hours. A dry idli mix takes longer to ferment because the ingredients are not soaked before the batter is prepared. So it takes couple of hours longer for the batter to rise. Once the batter is ready, you can steam cook the idlis as many as you like and serve these along with sambar and different types of chutnies.
