One Batter Whole Platter


One Batter Whole Platter!!!

 Yeah, this easy Idly Dosa batter is my mom's recipe, tried & tasted over 4 decades. No fail for any weather, love it just the way mom makes it :) 

 Everytime one will get the softest idlies, crisper dosas  & fluffy uttapa / uttapam or appe.....This time tried this whole platter with tiffin Sambhar ......taste divine! A treat for Idly dosa lovers for sure. 

 Let's get started 

 Ingredients 

  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 cup parboiled or ponni rice
  • 1 cup udad dal
  • 1/2 tbsp Methi seeds
  • Salt to taste
Method
  • Wash & sock rice / ponni rice / Methi seeds together for overnight or 6 hours. 
  • Wash & sock udad dal for overnight or 6 hours. 
  • Drain water & using a blender, blend udad dal first to smooth paste (use water as required, but not too runny batter) & transfer it into a big container
  • After dal blend rice till it is a smooth paste, use water as required. Transfer it into a same container as dal. 
  • Add salt & mix everything together by hands.
  • Keep it in dry, warm place for fermentation, for 8-10 hrs (time may vary depending upon weather condition)

    Hey Rashmee,

    Yes these are two kinds of rice one is regular one you use to make rice n other is parboiled or ponni rice, which you will find in Indian grocery store. Hope this help. There is one more recipe on my blog of making idly using idly Rava n you have to grind it see if you like that either ways you will get the perfect idly.....
