Soft and Puffy Idlies

Here is my secret for making soft and Puffy Idlies(Rice Cake)

• Ingredients

2 cups Rice
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup udad dal
1/4 tsp yeast
salt to taste

• Procedure

1. Soak rice and udad dal for 4-6 hours.
2. Coarsely grind both along with cooked rice.
3. Dissolve yeast in Luke warm water.
4. Add the yeast and salt to the mixture and keep it in a warm place overnight.
   Since I stay in NJ, because of the cold weather I let it stand for a whole day.
   You can make out Idly mix is ready when the batter becomes double the volume.
5. Now, DO NOT MIX THE BATTER. Without mixing make the idlies in Idly cooker.
