The selection of urddal and the Boiled rice also plays a major role in the softness of the idlies always try to buy as new as possible goods

Ingredients:

• Urdal - 1 to 1/2 cup (The measurement varies because of the quality of the urdal)
• Boiled Rice - 5 cup heaped
• Rock salt - A hand full

I dont belive in adding Fenugreek or poha ......if u wish u can add

Method :

I always preffer to grind my batter in the noon so will always start the process early in the morning

• Soak the urdal without washing separatley in three cups of water
• Wash the rice for atleast three times and soak them separatley
• The soaking should be dome atleast for three hours
• Check Now and then if the water has absorbed ,if so add more water
• now wash ur grinder properly as u dont want any black fungus which would be formed by the old idly batter on your new batter
• I use Table top Ultra Grinder
• Drain the Urdal from the water and keep the water aside as we are going to use it again
• Now put the urdal in the grinder and switch on the grinder
• After the grinder has started to crush the urdal add half the cup of water which we kept aside from the soaked dal
• now leave for the grinders work
• now and then check for water and only sprinkle as per need
• Be careful on adding water as if u add excess water the whole batter will get watery
• The urdal will rice nicely 
• Feel the batter at this time if u feel it is smooth enough and ball consistency is formed swich off the grinder and transfer the batter to another vessle
  
• Now drain the water from the soaked rice completly and put it in the grinder
• No need to save the water as we are not going to reuse it
• as same as the urdal grind the rice as well as 
• add water when ever needed
• when the rice is completly smooth add the grinded urdal to the grinding rice mixture and add a handfull of rock salt
• let it grind for 3-4 mins not more
• now transfer the the idly batter to a big airtight container 
• The container should be filled on 3/4 th as we are going to keep it for fermentation
• Now without closing the lid properly leave the batter outside till the batter is raised atleast 1/4 of the volume
• now close the lid properly and keep it in your fridge 
• use as wen required
