NOTES
- For lot of tips for making idlis .REFER HERE – Perfect idli recipe
- Be carefull while adding water while grinding rice and poha ,the poha has absorbed water ,so it requires less water for grinding .
- Y not replace poha with murmura [ puffed rice ] or already cooked rice .
- Very soon would try idli with basmati rice instead of idli rice for variation .
