Split Black Gram (Urad dal) -1 Cup
Flatten Rice Flakes (Paper Avalakki or Poha) 2 Fist Fulls
Fenugreek Seeds-2 Sp
Cooking Soda-1/4 Sp
Salt Fist Full
Oil- 4Tbsp
Method:
- Wash rice thrice and soak in water for 6 hours
- Wash urad dal and soak in water for 6 hours
- Wash Fenugreek and soak in water for 4 hours after soaking for 4 hours drain the water. place one cup of water to boil in a pot add the fenugreek in boiling water and cook till it doubles in size drain water and reserve.
- Wash the rice flakes twice drain a reserve. this step should be done just before grinding the batter.
- Mom has been using ultra grinder for almost 10 years now to grind the batter mixer grinder can also be used.
- Drain water from the soaking urad dal and rice reserve.
- First grind the cooked fenugreek and rice flakes to mushy consistency add water if needed.
- After grinding the rice flakes and fenugreek add urad dal and grind to soft batter water can be sprinkled to grind to a smooth consistency to double check if the urad dal has ground to a smooth paste add a drop of batter to a bowl of water the batter should retain consistency and float on the water.

we prepare this batter in bulk and store in the fridge when needed we reserve some batter in a large bowl and allow to ferment over night and use the next day. this measure of batter will serve 3 sets of idly and 2 sets of dosa over a period of 1 week...
