How to Prepare

Rinse the poha (flattened rice) thoroughly and soak it in water for 5 minutes.
Drain the water from poha and grind it along with soaked idli rice and urad dal to a smooth batter.
Add salt to the batter and mix well. Let it ferment for 8 hours or overnight.
After fermentation, grease the idli molds with oil.
Pour the batter into the molds and steam in an idli steamer for 10-12 minutes.
Allow the idlis to cool slightly, then remove them from the molds using a spoon.
Serve hot with chutney and sambar.
