Idli

Ingredients
Urad Flour 1 cup
Rice flour 1 cup
Idli rava 1 cup
Salt to taste
Pinch of rapid rise yeast
water to mix

Method
1. Mix all the above ingredients without lumps to a thick pouring consistency. Let sit overnight.
2. Next morning use the batter in exactly the same way regular idli batter is used. If the batter
is too thick add a little water to bring it a thick pouring consistency.
3. Grease the idli moulds and spoon the batter into them.
4. Heat water in the idli cooker. Steam cook for about 12-15 mins on high.
5. Take out from the fire and let cool for a while and then remove the idlis from the moulds.
6. Serve hot with chutney, sambar or both.
7. This makes about 12 idlis. It is a fantastic method as it involves no soaking and no
grinding.The fermented batter may smell of yeast but once cooked there is no smell at all.

Note:
If you are using the pressure cooker, do not use the weight while making idlis.
