are you looking to make super soft idli and struggling?? No more worry, you can make soft and spongy idli with these 5 tips!!

[ratna_pandit]

Tips to follow :-

1) Do not over soak Udal dal, it loses strength ( soak only for 2 hours)

2) Grind udal really smooth to make soft idli ( Grind for 40 min in wet grinder)

3) soak rice for 4 hours and grind to course suji texture for 10 min in wet grinder

4) Mix with hand only.
Mixing in hand aids fermentation

5) After fermentation
Do not over mix the batter

Thank you Hebbar for wonderful tips for soft n fluffy Idlis ❤❤

This is the best idli recipe I found on YouTube.. it works fine with normal mixer.. tried with all 5 tips yesterday and turned out super fluffy idlis….just like restaurant. I had been trying different recipes but every time my idlis became hard, so this the best👍

It was my favourite dish when I was a kid, every day I used to eat idli. Remembering those golden days watching your video

[jmathew]

My goodness, your presentation and talent is one I have never seen

[seetahariharan]

I have been making soft idlis all my life and i was happy to note that you used TWO CUPS IDLY RICE: 1 CUP URAD. You will hardly find this ratio on YouTube! except one or two channels (one in marathi and the other in malayalam) Most of them copy each other and a few use 3:1, most use 4:1 , many use 5:1..sm use 6:1 and I hv seen videos of 8:1, 10:1 and there are videos showing 12:1 ! ratio. I marvel at this. But I hv been using 2:1 ratio till today (taught by my late mother).. It has never failed. I do try adding sago and/or poha /cooked rice only sometimes. They are also good. Also I grind in mixie only nowadays due to old age and other health issues. But 2:1 is what yields soft idlis. Thanks for the recipe. I watch your videos with interest as they are quick to watch. lengthy

Love to watch ur videos again and again inspired by u mam really mind blowing

[januleela]

If u grind in wet grinder for 5 or 6 of cups rice 1 cup uradh dhal is the correct ratio(if the uradh dhal is good quality)....otherwise using wet grinder 1:2 ratio, uradh dhal quantity dominate over rice so we may not get good idly....idly will stick to the vessel ...this is my opinion

[manjuladevarajan]

The proportion is different for different types of grinders and depends on the rice and dhal also. Single stone grinder 1:4, Two wheels grinder 1:5, Mixie 1:3, and always use boiled rice or idlli rice and round dhal with 1 tsp methi seeds.

[krishnabaijagannathan]

We can add 1 tsp fenugreek seed along with idly rice... it helps in facilitating taste and aroma of the idly and also gives colour to dosa if we use the same batter...
