Idli - Indian rice cake

Ingredients

Idli rice - 1 3/4 cup Black gram - 1/2 cup Fennugreek seeds - 1 tsp Salt - 1 tbsp

Method

Soak rice and black gram separately in water for atleast 1 hour.
Soaking overnight can be done too. Add fenugreek seeds to black gram.
Drain the water and grind the black gram to a silky soft texture.
Next grind the rice coarsely. Mix it with black gram batter along with salt.
Now leave the batter to rest and ferment for at least 6 hours till the batter rises to almost double the size.
Grease the idli plates with few drops of oil and fill with idli batter.
Steam them for about 10 minutes till they rise and become firm.
Switch off the stove and let it rest for a minute or 2. After that use a wet spoon to remove the idlis from the idli plate.
Now, Hot Idli is ready to eat.
