Ingredients
Idli Batter – 2 cups
Oil – less than 1 teaspoon
Water – 2 cups
Method
I have already posted ( IDLY/DOSA BATTER/IDLY/DOSA FLOUR ) how to make batter for idli. Take the Idli pot , and pour water in it and let it boil. I used Idli plate without cloth,you can also use it with white cloth.Grease it with a drop of oil in each mold and pour the batter.

Place the plate in the Idli pot and close it with lid.Steam in a medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes. After it gets cooked, you have to take it out and let it sit for 2 minutes so that the idli comes out without sticking to the plate.

Soft Idli are ready to serve with Sambar and Idli podi.
