  • Similarly, wash the Rice. Cover it with water and Soak for at least 4 hours to a maximum of 10 hours. (Best being overnight)

Grinding

  • Soak the Poha before you start the blending step.
  • After Soaking, Drain the Water from the Ragi- Dal mix and the Rice.
  • In the blender, blend the Dal & Ragi Mix together. Add 1-2 tablespoon water to help the blender grind the dal and Ragi.
  • Once the Dal- Ragi blend is creamy, stop and add the Rice to it.
  • Drain the water from the poha and press it to get the excess water out.
  • Add the poha to the blender too.
  • Blend again till the batter is smooth and lump free. Add more water if needed while blending.

Fermenting

  • Cover the batter and let it slowly ferment on counter top for 8-10 hours.
  • If the weather is cold, use the YOGURT LOW function on instant pot for 6-8 hours instead.
  • Or you can place the bowl in a warm oven or warm water bath

Dosas & Idlies

  • To make dosas, mix the batter with a little water till its flowy.
  • Make Dosas (see the video for the technique) and serve with chutney
  • For idlies, do not dilute the batter.
  • Oil the idli mold, and add the desired about of batter.Steam for 8-10 minutes.

Notes

  • Wash the Ragi very well. A lot of times it has a lot of impurities in it.
  • Fenugreek seeds help the batter ferment.So do not omit it.
  • If your batter hasn't fermented after 8 hours, you can either keep it in warm bath for a few hours or use the YOGURT LOW setting in instant pot for 1-2 hours.
