How to make soft idlis? The uppermost question in everyone’s mind. And it always still is, I think…. Anyway, so many have given me quite the same measurements of ingredients and mostly they always turn out different. The weather and the quality of ingredients used I think matters. The urad dal and idli rava differ from company to company and brand to brand. Each one has their own favorite brand to choose from. Here goes the recipe –
