    Ingre:
    1 Cup Ulundhu (white urad dal)
    1 Cup Rava (semolina)
    2 tbl spoon of Aval -(optional)
    (this is mashed dried rice flakes)
    1 tsp grinded Ginger
    salt to taste
    water as required

    Method:

    *Soak Urad dal in water for 4-5hrs.
    *Meanwhile, steam the semolina placing on a clean clothe bag, kitchen towel or clothe, in a steamer for 3/4 of an hour. (occasionaly giving it a stir)
    *after the urad is completely soaked grind it in a processer/grinder in almost smooth but with a few coarse here and there. Add a few spoons of water.
    *add the steamed semolina, salt to tast and water (if required) and make a THICK mixture.
    (DONT pour too much of water to the effect of pan cake mixure as this will not set the idly)
    *Leave it to ferment a day or over night
    *when your ready to cook the idly add the finely grinded ginger to the mix
    *spread the idly moulds with oil- using a clothe soaked in oil
    *Spoon it on to the idly container and steam for 15-20 minutes. (time will depend on the size of the container)
    Served best hot with green chilli sambol and sambar.
    (let me know how it came out)
