How to Prepare

Prepare the batter by mixing the pre-processed rice and urad dal with water to form a smooth consistency.
Add jaggery syrup, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt to the batter and mix well.
Grease the idli molds with ghee or oil.
Pour the batter into the idli molds, filling them about 3/4 full.
Steam the idlis in an idli steamer for 10-12 minutes on medium heat.
Check if the idlis are cooked by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Allow the idlis to cool for 2-3 minutes, then remove them from the molds using a spoon.
Serve warm with ghee or coconut chutney.
