Idlis are the staple South Indian food that is regularly made in households. If you are craving authentic South Indian food, it’s best to make soft idlis. Here are some tips to get the fluffiest idlis.
While you do choose quality ingredients, ensure that you take rice and dal in a 2:1 ratio.
Soaking rice and dal for about 4-6 hours before grinding to get a smoother batter, which will make the fluffiest idlis.
When you grind the batter, consistency is key. To maintain a thicker batter, using minimal water is important.
Another tip for fluffy idlis is to soak and grind some fenugreek seeds alongwith rice and dal.
The secret to the fluffiest idlis is to be patient and ferment the batter for 8-12 hours. Only use it when the volume of the batter increases.
