Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash poha 2-3 times. Combine idli rava and urad dal. Wash these 2-3 times.

* Step 2

Mix poha with idli rava mixture and soak overnight in 4 cups of water.

* Step 3

In the morning, strain the mixture. Blend it with 1 cup water till smooth puree is obtained. (Divide in two batches for easy blending).

* Step 4

Add salt to taste.

* Step 5

Keep idli moulds ready. Grease the plates well with oil.

* Step 6

Keep a steamer with enough water to heat. Once water starts to boil, add the Eno to the batter. Give it a quick whisk without overworking the batter.

* Step 7

Ladle the batter in the moulds and place the idli stand in the steamer.

* Step 8

Steam for 10 minutes or till idlis are soft to touch without the batter being wet or soggy.

* Step 9

Remove the idlis from the mould by using a blunt knife. Serve them hot/warm with your choice of condiments.

* Step 10

Note: The batter can be fermented. In that case there is no need for addition of Eno. Just keep the batter after blending it in a warm place for 8 hours.
