NOTES
- We can also add ginger or green chilli while grinding .
- U can also make dosa with the same batter .
- Instead of raw rice ,u can add rice flour in the batter .
- We can also use sprouted moong dal for more benefits .
- U can also use split green moong dal or yellow moong dal .
- U can add a generous pinch of asafoetida to the batter .
- Soak moong dal for atleast 6 hours or overnight .
- Adding lemon juice incorporates sour taste to the batter which we usually get it through fermentation.
- Adding Eno Salt is must to get the softer idly. It helps the batter to aerate making the idli fluffy and soft. But we need add eno salt only just before we are ready to steam the idli’. If we keep the batter after adding eno salt for long time, the batter will be more diluted and idli’s will not puff up
