I usually leave the batter in the oven and also switch on the oven to 'Warm' for 5-6 mins.<BR/>After the batter is ready, add a couple of spoons of oil , salt to taste, mix well. Make idlis as usual!Manasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219295365602655534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-66699425205564149102007-06-07T07:53:00.000-04:002007-06-07T07:53:00.000-04:00Hello,been trawling the food blogs and came across...Hello,<BR/>been trawling the food blogs and came across your blog. very nice description and pictures too.

The things the brain decides to retain :-) ! <BR/>I faced the same cooker vs idli stand size dilemma. My solution was to buy a very large pot (crockpot ?) from Target/Kmart. It's a basic metal cylinder shaped vessel (usually speckled-grey in color and design) with a lid. I just fill the base with water, immerse the cooker base plate (with the holes) and then place the idli stand on it. Place the lid partially, leaving just a small opening for the steam. Steam as usual.<BR/>As for the chana daal - I think you are referring to daalia.<BR/>SDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-46799311168089089492007-05-04T07:55:00.000-04:002007-05-04T07:55:00.000-04:00You should blog more often......
