    Title: Idli (Steamed South Indian Rice Cakes)
    Categories: Breads, Indian
    Yield: 2 Servings

    2 c Rice
    1 c Urad dal

    Soak rice and dal in water in separate pots for 10 hours.

    Grind each separately with a little water in a food processor until
    smooth. Mix with hands the rice and dal to form the idli batter. The
    batter should be thick but slightly runny. Set the batter aside for
    about 8 hours to let it rise and sour slightly.

    Idlis are cooked in idli steamers, available at most Indian groceries.
    Ladle batter into each buttered compartment of the idli maker and
    steam for 20 to 30 minutes. Cool for a minute; remove idli from bowl.
    There is no need to ghee the bowl. Experiment to find the best
    cooking time.
