Instructions
Preparation
Rinse the brown rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately in water. Soak them in enough water for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Cooking Steps
1. Drain the water from the soaked rice, dal, and fenugreek seeds and grind them into a smooth batter using a wet grinder or a mixer-grinder. Add water as needed to get a thick and smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to that of regular idli batter.
Transfer the batter to a large bowl and add salt. Mix well.
Cover the bowl and let the batter ferment for 8-10 hours or overnight, depending on the weather. The fermented batter will rise and become slightly fluffy.
Grease the idli plates with oil or cooking spray and pour the batter into each mold, filling them up to 3/4th of their capacity.
Steam the idli in a steamer or pressure cooker without the whistle for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of an idli comes out clean.
Remove the idli plates from the steamer or pressure cooker and let them cool
