Instructions

STEP I How To Make The Perfect Soft And Fluffy Idli Batter Or Khotte Batter

  • Wash and soak urad dal in water for at least 1 to 2 hours.
    1 ½ cups Urad dal
  • To obtain a light and smooth batter wet grinder is the best. This is how it is traditionally done at most homes or hotels. Check out this video. If you do not have a grinder, use your mixer/blender and add water little by little, and grind it to a smooth paste. The batter should be on the thicker side for idli and khotte.
  • Transfer this to a bowl. To this, add washed and drained rice rava and mix well. Your batter is ready.

STEP II Fermenation Of Idli And Khotte Batter

  • Suppose you want to use the batter for the next day’s breakfast, cover and keep it outside at room temperature overnight. The time required for full fermentation maybe around 6 hours during summer and 10-12 hours during winter.
  • If you want to use it in a day or 2, especially for busy mornings, after the batter is ready, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for slow fermentation.

STEP III Steaming Khotte Kadubu Or Idli

  • When you are ready to steam the idlis or khotte, add salt to the batter and mix well so that any rava that may have settled down gets uniformly distributed.

  • Fill your steamer with water up to the appropriate level. Once the water comes to a boil, add batter to each jackfruit leaves mold or idli mold. Place it in the steamer and cover. Steam for a good 20 to 30 minutes on medium flame. The time varies depending on the size of the mold. Idli actually takes only 12 minutes.
