INGREDIENTS
Idle rice-3 cups
whole urad dal-1 cup
salt to taste
METHOD
Soak rice and urad dal separately for 5-6 hrs.Grind rice and urad dal separately to a smooth paste.Rice takes approximately 10-12 mins to grind but urad dal needs to br grinded for 25-30 mins until its fluffy.Mix both rice and dal in a bowl.Add some salt and let it ferment overnight. It should rise to double its volume.
Ones the batter has fermentated add some water.The consistency of the batter for dosas should be thin /spreadable and for idli and appam it should be medium,not too thick nor thin.Adjust salt.
NOTE:-Using the soaked water of the urad dal for grinding makes the fermentation process faster.
In extreme cold weather regions like mine ,to aid in fermenation prehaeat oven to 250 deg F for about 5-6 mins,switch it off and place ur bowl of batter in it.That will help in fermentaion.

Boiled Potatoes-2 medium size
