Idly is a one of the hot favorite South Indian Breakfast! It is a quick and delicious comfort food that it is prepared in every household at least once in a week, which is made in rice flour, urad dal and fenugreek seeds. Here is the measurement for the good idly/dosai batter.

Fenugreek seeds – 1 tsp

Salt – to taste

Water – to grind the mixture

Soak the rice for 8 hours or over a night. Same way soak the urad dal and fenugreek seeds for just ½ hour before you grind. Once it is done, wash the urad dal, fenugreek seeds and add water and grind it very fine batter/paste and keep aside. Then wash the rice and add water and grind into a paste (it should not be too fine paste). Once it is done mix both the mixture and add salt.
