INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
Step 1: In a bowl or pan take 1 cup parboiled rice and 1 cup regular rice. Here I have used the Indian variety of sona masuri rice along with parboiled rice.
Step 2: Then add the poha to the rice. Add 2 cups of water. Mix very well and keep aside covered to soak for 4 to 5 hours.
Step 3: In a separate bowl take ½ cup urad dal (husked black gram) along with ¼ teaspoon fenugreek seeds.
Step 4: Rinse a couple of times in fresh water.
Step 5: Pour the urad dal batter in a deep pan or bowl.
Step 6: Drain the water from the rice and poha. Add them in the wet grinder jar or in a powerful blender. I usually grind in two batches.
Step 7: Add 1 teaspoon of edible rock salt or pink salt. Cover the bowl or container with a lid and keep the batter in a warm place.
Step 8: Then, Steam the Idli to Perfection.
