Idli / Dosa Batter

Idli/Dosa Batter

Well this is something that comes in handy on busy days. You can prepare batter for some 2-3 days and you are well in a meal within 10 mins
I am thankful to my mother in law for giving me this recipe. Yeah she knows its her son's life in risk. No wonder she gave me that recipe
Its not that tough but just that you have to plan it well because you need almost a whole day for soaking and a whole night for fermenting.
So dont come running and hope to get the batter unless you are buying from the store.
So you there... sit, relax and get the batter ready for tomorrow at the earliest :-)
Dont blame me, i didnt make the rules
Ok so down to the batter

Ingredients
Raw Rice - 3 cups (I use either Ponni or Sona Masoori)
Urad Dal - 1 cup
Fenugreek - 2 tsp
Boiled Rice - 1/2 cup
Salt

Soak the raw rice along with urad dal and fenugreek for 6-8 hours.
I usually soak them together. its easy that way and it doesn't seem to affect the taste in any way.
Now grind these with the boiled rice in the water used for soaking the rice.
Using the same water helps in fermenting.
Grind it till the batter becomes smooth.
Now add salt and leave it overnight for fermenting

If you are in US or some place where its cold, it wont ferment, so leave it in your oven with the oven lights on.This will help the batter to ferment well.

Mix it well and keep it in fridge till use.

Happy Eating guys!!!
