Tips & Secrets
- Fermentation is the absolute secret; ensuring the batter rises properly makes the idlis incredibly soft.
- Always use a little less water while grinding millet as it doesn't absorb as much moisture as rice.
- Adding a spoonful of cooked rice or poha while grinding can further enhance the fluffiness.
