  You can buy Rice Flour. You can start with little quantity about 1 glass of the rice flour and mix it with little water to an extent that the flour is in the mid-stage between very dry and wet. Then if you have Pressure cooker, you can tie a piece of white cloth around the mouth of the pressure cooker and keep the mixed flour in the cloth and close it with the pressure cooker cover. After around 10 to 15 minutes you can take open the pressure cooker. If you feel that the flour is not yet cooked you can keep it for some more time. Then take it from the cloth and put the flour in bowl, add sugar and grated coconut into it. Mix it with Banana and have it. Tell me whether it had worked out properly or not.

  Hi Amutha and others,
  I saw a wet rice grinder mentioned to buy from India. Yes it is much cheaper but one thing to watch out for is that because the stone is so heavy the bottom plastic cracks during travel - this is what happened to us.
  Also on the subject of dosai
  4 cups of idli rice
  1 cup of urad dhal
  As usual grind urad separately and rice separately and then mix and grind as well. The result should be a slightly coarse mixture.
  Place in oven and warm for about 15 minutes and leave it in the oven. Can then be used the next day.

  Hi,
  
  Here is a proportion for those who don't have Grinder. I use blender for grinding and have no problem. Idli is soft like we make in India. Dosa also no problem.
  
  Ponni Pulungal Arisi - 3 cups
  
  Uncle ben's parboiled Rice - 1 cup(AVAILABLE IN AMERICAN STORES)
  
  Urud dhal - 1 cup
  
  Soak both rices seperately overnight or about 10 hrs. Soak Urud dhal for an hr. Grind and mix them well adding enough salt.
  
  Fermentation:
  
  Preheat the oven at 200 deg. for 3 min. Remember to turn it off. Keep the grinded mavu in Stainless steel containers(avoid using thick vessels) and place it in the oven near the bulb. Leave the bulb on. 10-12 hrs. is enough for good fermentation.
  
  Idli steamed using cloth(though old fashioned)has really special taste.
  
  
  If you try the above method with the same kinds of rice i am sure you'll have a good idli. This is how i make.
  
  Expecting comments.

  Hi!
  Does anyone know how to make pulibangarams? I I think it is a combination of rice and urad dhal. We used to have it as kids, I would like to make it for my kids now. Thanks.
  Greta.
