Ingredients

urad powder 1 cup

rice flour 1 cup

idli rava 1 cup

salt to taste

pinch of rapid rise yeast

water to mix

Method

Mix all the above ingredients without lumps to a thick pouring consistency. Let sit overnight.

Next morning use the batter in exactly the same way regular idli batter is used. If the batter is too thick add a little water to bring it a thick pouring consistency.

Grease the idli moulds and spoon the batter into them.

Heat water in the idli cooker. Steam cook for about 12-15 mins on high.

Take out from the fire and let cool for a while and then remove the idlis from the moulds.

Serve hot with chutney, sambar or both.

This makes about 12 idlis. It is a fantastic method as it involves no soaking and no grinding. The fermented batter may smell of yeast but once cooked there is no smell at all.

Note:

If you are using the pressure cooker, do not use the weight while making idlis.
