To make the perfect Idli-Dosa Batter at home, we will take 1 cup of Urad Dal. Add it to a large mixing bowl.

Add 3 cups of Rice. The ratio of Dal to Rice at 1:3 is perfect for making the batter.

Wash it properly 3-4 times.

Add 1 tsp Fenugreek seeds.

Add water as required. Cover with a lid and keep it aside for 4 hours.

The Rice and Dal have soaked in water. Now drain the excess water.

Add the mixture to a grinding jar and a little water. Add the mixture in batches to grind it well.

Check the consistency of the mixture. It is thick and not runny. We will add water to it later.

Similarly, grind the mixture and add the batter to a mixing bowl. Also, clean the leftover batter in the grinder with a little water and add it to the bowl.

Close the lid and keep it aside for 8 hours to let it ferment. Please don’t keep it under an AC or in the Fridge. It should be kept at the warm room temperature. The batter has fermented and is ready to make Idli & Dosa. It can also be kept in the refrigerator and used for a week.
