How to make soft idly
1. Contributor: Praneetha Ravi
to know if u get soft idli's or not... there is a small tip i follow from my MIL and it works fine ...
usually we put 1:2 , for 1 minapappu w put 2 rava ... most of the times it works fine for all urad dal ( whole and split) and all rava's .... but before u mix the ground urad dal with rava... mix little by little portions... mix 1:1 ... beat well , add salt and take water in a bowl or glass ... drop some idly pindi in the water and it should float instantly without sinking ... if it doesn't float instantly and sinks... then ur idly will be hard and ur batter wi not ferment... then u might have to add most urad dal paste to this mixture ....
so before addign rava add 1/2 cup,then 3/4 cup.... test and then add accordingly
Also my mom's tip ... always grind the urad dal with cold water preferably the fridge water.... chill water helps in soft idly n dosa and while soaking urad dal add 1tbsp of sabudana
2. Contributor: Roopa Reddy
Idli pindi rubbe appudu konchem cooked rice vesi rubbandi. 8- 12 hours fermentation ki warm place lo pettandi.
Idli over cook ayina kuda soft vundavu gatti padi pothayi. on high heat 4 plate full idli 8 mins lo cook ayipothayi. Stove turn of chesi few mins Mootha theeyavaddu.
3. Contributor: Keerth! V@jr@pu
I usually do it in this way :;;;
For 1 cup urad dal - 2 cups rice ( Soak separately )
I add fenugreek seeds ( a spoon or so - for smoothness ) along with urad dal............then I grind the urad dal after soaking over night and then mix it with the water drained IDLI RAVA !!!!!!!!!
It comes out well !!!!

Bringing mango juice or pulp from India
1. Contributor: Gayathri Sadhu
this my Aunt does this for my SIL... this is what she told me they make thick juice and they freeze it till the day of travel in a ziplock bag and then bring it here, once they come here they again freeze it for a day and then start using it... HTH!!!
ya they brought it like that almost 2-3 times and its been good all the time and she was telling my mom to do it when she came... ensure that mangoes are ripe and the juice is thick!!!
2. Contributor: Ush@ J@sti
