Hi Friends, My name is Liya. I am from Kerala. I am very passionate in cooking. I have decided to share south Indian recipes in hindi and authentic kerala beauty tips with you. Today I am going to show you how to make south Indian idli dosa batter for soft and spongy Idli and Dosa.
Ingredients for 2 Kg Spongy Idli and Dosa batter.
1) White Rice - 2 cups
2) Urad Dal - 1 cup
3) Methi - 1 table spoon
4) Cooked Red(Matta) rice
Note: You can use any boiled rice if you don't have red rice.
What is idli rice?
You can use any white rice. But most of the time we use "Super Tas" brand (May be it won't available in your place )
How to make soft idli at home (I have tried to explain this in hindi) ?
The key part of soft idli is adding boiled prepared rice while grinding and the proper fermentation ?
Can idli batter recipe be followed for dosa batter?
Yes, it is. The typical practice in our household has been to make idlis from the freshly fermented batter and store the remaining batter in the refrigerator for dosas. Idlis made from refrigerated batter tend to be less soft than the ones made the same day the batter has fermented.
How long does it take to steam idli?
Approximately 15-20 minutes depending on the steamer you use.
How long to soak the rice?
6-7 hours. You can soak them overnight as well.
How long to soak urad dal?
6-7 hours. You can soak them overnight as well. Also you can soak this with rice as well
What if the batter doesn’t ferment?
Does the batter appear too thick? Add spoonfuls of water and whisk it well. If it doesn’t ferment after 18 hours, refrigerate the batter and make dosas.
Is Italy dosa batter and idli dosa batter are same ?
Yes, Some people write italy dosa instead of idli dosa .
How to prepare idli dosa batter ?
You required either one of the equipment for preparing idli dosa batter
In my childhood we were using a big stone mortar/pestle to grind but not many people use it anymore.
The options that are now available
Electric Wet stone grinder - It will be more similar to old stone mortar.
Indian Mixer - The advantages of this is very fast.
How to make Idli ?
1. On a high flame bring enough water to boil in an idlly steamer(Recommended) or idli pressure cooker
2. Apply oil on idli plate lightly to avoid stick with idli
3. When water begins to steam up, place the idli plate in the steamer to make it slightly heat to avoid idli stick with plate
4. Then gently mix the idli batter few times and fill the idli mold with batter
5. Then do the steps 2 -4 with all idli plates
6. Cover the steamer properly with lid and cook it for atleast 15 min.
7. Now your authentic idli is ready. So you can switch of the flame and remove all idli plates and keep it for 2-3 min to cool down.
8. Once its slightly cool down you can gently remove with spoon and serve with coconut chatney or Sambar.
