Ingredients:

• 1 cup – Urad Dal (soaked in water for about 4-6 hours)

1. Grind the soaked urad dal to a smooth batter.
2. Wash the idli rava and drain out all the water. Add rava to the urad batter and grind further until it blends well with the batter (about 3-5 minutes).
3. If you are using soaked white rice, drain out all the water and add to urad batter; grind until it blends well and forms a smooth paste.
4. Transfer into a large mixing bowl and let it ferment overnight or for 8-10 hours; add salt and mix well.
5. Pour into moode ele (moulds) and steam for about 20-25 minutes.
