  • Else you can directly add the curds to the flour and add water as well.
  • Either way, make sure to mix the batter into a lump-less mix.
  • Add salt and let the batter sit for 30 minutes.

Making the Idlis

  • Grease the idli plates with oil. Preheat the steamer with water.
  • When the idlis are ready to be steamed, add 1/2 teaspoon of Enos fruit salt to the batter and mix well.

  • Place inside the hot steamer and steam for 15 -20 minutes until done.
  • Mine were done in 15 minutes, you can check by inserting a knife into the idlis.
