Andhra Idli Batter / Idli Pindi

 
 
Homemade Idli Batter / Idli Pindi in Andhra is different from Dosa Batter. Idli Batter is made with Black Gram Dal and Idli Ravva where as Dosa Batter is made with Black Gram Dal and Rice.

Ingredients

 
1 Cup Black Gram Dal / Urad Dal
2 Cups Idli Ravva
1 teaspoon Fenugreek Seeds
1 teaspoon Salt
  1. Add a teaspoon of Fenugreek seeds to Black Gram Dal. Wash Black Gram Dal, and Idli Ravva seperately for 2-3 times and soak it water for atleast 8 hours. Adding Fenugreek seeds  makes the Idli very soft.   
  2. After soaking in water for 8 hours, remove water from Black Gram Dal and Idli Ravva. Grind Black Gram Dal to a smooth paste. Grind it for a minute add 3 teaspoons of water and grind it again till it becomes a smooth paste. Add Salt. Add this to Idli Ravva, mix it well and leave it ferment for atleast 8 hours.
  3. I soak Dal and Ravva in the morning, at night I grind Dal, add it to Ravva and will leave it to ferment overnight so that I can have Idli the next morning.
