Bachelor's idli flour:
Soaking rice will take 4 - 5 hours. And if you are grinding the batter in the mixer grinder, the mixer grinder wil not last long as well.
Take one kg of rice and soak in water.
Drain water and dry them in hot sun.
Grind it into a fine powder.
Seive and store it in an airtight container.
When you want to make idlis, just soak urad dal and methi seeds for 1 hour.
Grind them along with cooked rice and add 4 cups of this powder and make a batter.
Add salt and leave that over night to get fermented.
