Rice Idli Batter
Rice Idli batter is a fermented batter made from a combination of rice and black gram (also known as urad dal). The rice and black gram are soaked separately and ground into a smooth paste. Idli batter for 2 portions makes 10 idlis
Ingredients
- 100 g Split Urad Dal (washed and soaked)
- 200 g Idli Rice (washed and soaked)
- 0.5 tsp Methi Seeds (soaked with dal)
- 30 g Medium Poha (sieved and washed)
- 980 ml Water (divided for soaking and grinding)
Instructions
Add ingredients to jar
After soaking ingredients separately, drain the water. Add the soaked Urad Dal and Methi seeds to The Upliance jar. The device will guide you through adding specific amounts of fresh water.
The device will now grind the batter
The Upliance will blend the dal into a fluffy paste using variable speeds. You will then be prompted to add the soaked rice, poha, and water. The device will grind the mixture into a slightly coarse batter suitable for idlis.
Ferment the batter
The device will mix the batter for 60 seconds to aerate it. It will then switch to fermentation mode, maintaining a constant low heat (40°C) for 7 hours to allow the batter to ferment perfectly inside the jar.
The dish is ready
Once fermentation is complete, the batter will be risen and airy. Remove from The Upliance jar and steam in greased idli molds for 10-12 minutes to serve.
