Fenugreek seeds - 1 tbsp

Castor oil seeds - 7

Method

Soak each separately for 6-8 hours:

Idly rice

Urad dhal

Fenugreek seeds and

Castor oil seeds

Grind:

First grind:

Castor oil seeds and then add idly rice to that and grind to a sooji rava like consistency batter.

Remove it to a large bowl, such that it fits when it ferments.

Second grind:

Fenugreek seeds and then add urad dhal to that and grind to a smooth batter.

Mix everything and leave it for fermentation depending on the climatic conditions.

Making idlies:

Now add salt to the batter and make idlies. The reason why adding salt is done at the last is to avoid the batter becoming sour. As usual, make idlies.
