Step:
Wash and soak both the grams for 6-8 hours in adequate water
Drain the water after the soaking period
Grind the grams with garlic and chilli using very little or no water
Transfer the batter to a large bowl and keep covered for 3-4 hours for fermentation
Before cooking, add soda bicarb and salt to the batter. Mix well
Grease idli trays and add 1-2 tablespoons of the batter in each and steam for 8-10 minutes
Let cool and demould the idlis
Serve warm with your choice of chutnies/sambhar/veg stew
Alternatively, you can make dosas of the batter too. The entire process remains the same, just skip adding the soda bicarb to the batter
Please try and let me know, how your idlis turned out. Happy cooking!
