Fluffy idlis 

Making soft fluffy idlis in usa tamil recipe

Making Soft and Fluffy Idlis
Recipe : 
Idli rice - 4 cups
Urud dal - 1 cup 
Fenugreek seeds - 2 tsps


Soak them for about 4 hours and grind them separately  the rice and the dal. When grinding make sure that you grind them into a fine paste.

The consistency of the batter should be pouring consistency. The fenugreek seeds should be soaked separately and should be ground before the rice is ground.
Use your hand to mix both the batters together, Let them outside overnight to ferment.
The fermentation happens well during the summer months in the USA. But during winter it is better if you place them inside your convention oven ( the oven should be turned off) you can leave the light on overnight . Place the batter on a plate so when it overflows it is easier to clean.


How to steam the idli's 

Using an idli cooker or you can use any bigger pan heat two cups of water let them come to boil, Pour the idli batter into the molds like below place them in the container.

Close the lid and let them steam for about 10 minutes, Once the idles are cooked remove them out of the container, Let them cool down for a minute and remove them off the molds.
Now serve them hot with Sambar or curry with GHee. Happy cooking Hotdishes
