Ingredients

  • 3 cups Raw Rice
  • 2 cups Poha/ Beaten Rice / Aval
  • 1 cup Fresh Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Making the Batter

  • Wash rice and poha separately in different vessels until it runs clean.
  • Soak with enough water in both vessels for 8 hours.
  • Using a mixer jar or a grinder, first drain and take the rice to grind to a smooth batter
  • Remove the rice paste to a bowl, now add the drained poha to the jar and grind again.
  • You will get a super soft texture once the poha is ground to a fine paste.
  • Now add the butter to the jar and pulse again a couple of times.
  • You will get a well-aerated batter that feels like buttercream frosting.
  • Transfer to the bowl, add a teaspoon of salt.
  • Mix everything well together until done.
  • Beat with your palm for the batter to be aerated, cover with a lid.
  • Let it ferment overnight or for alteast 8 hours.

Making Idlis

  • In the morning after overnight fermentation, atleast two or three hours before steaming beat the batter well a couple of times.
  • Cover and do not disturb.
  • Heat the steamer with water, grease the Idli moulds, and pour the batter to 3/4 full.
  • Stack it up and steam for 15 minutes.
  • Once the idlis are cooked, let idlis stand for 5 minutes.
  • Then sprinkle a few drops of water or dip your spoon in water for the idlis to be removed easily.
  • Serve with a side dish of your choice.

Making Dosas

  • Make sure your tawa is well seasoned.
  • Pour a ladleful of batter and make dosas as you normally make.
  • Swirl around to make a 7-inch circle.
  • Drizzle a few drops of oil, cover with a lid. Lower the flame for a few minutes.
  • Once the bottom is all golden brown, it's done.
  • We do not flip over to cook on the top side.
