Iddli

Ingredients
Raw White rice - 2 cups
Black gram - 1 cup
Salt
Coconut oil

Method of preparation
Soak two cups of raw white rice (pachari) and one cup of skinned black gram for 4 to 6 hrs. Grind the soaked rice and gram separately. Mix it well and keep for atleast 8 hours. Now the batter is ready. Add salt to the batter and stir well. Pace the iddli maker on the stove, add water and let it boil. Oil the iddli plates, pour the batter and place it in the iddli maker. Cover it with lid and let it cook for sometime. When the steam start coming out, switch off the stove and open the iddli maker. Take out the idli plates after checking whether the iddlies are well cooked. To remove the iddlies easily from the plates, wait for few minutes to let the iddlies become slightly cool. Take the iddlies from the plate with the tail end of a spoon or a spatula. Serve it with Sambhar or Chutney.
