  Hi Aravind,
  you asked for idli measurement with rice flour.
  RICE FLOUR-4CUPS
  URAD DAL-1CUP
  Soak the dal,grind it a little coarsely.Mix the rice flour in water to that consistency, what you get by grinding(not too watery or very thick).Mix rice and dal add salt to taste.you will get good idlies if it is well fermented.
  thank u
  Devi.

  hey rati,
  
  this type of rasam is called jeera rasam..take tamarind juice ..add a spoon of rasam powder,one tomato, one / two green chillies, salt,aestofoida, and boil this in low falme...probably till the rasam powder smell is gone..on the other hand boil some tuar daal..once the rasam powder smell is gone..pour the bloiled daal...keep t in low flame for about two minutes..garnish with coriander leaves..
  enjoy!

  Hi Rati/Aravind,
  I make Idlis at home every week. I live in USA and I've got ULTRA pride wet grinder. The below is the measurement I use:
  Laxmi Ponni Raw Rice--- 1/2 cup
  Laxmi Boiled Raw Rice-- 3.5 cups
  Urad Dal (Ulutham Parupu in tamil) -- 3/4 cup
  Aval --- One handful (optional---for extra softness)
  Methi seeds (Venthayam) -- 2 T-spoons.
  
  Soad Raw Rice and Boiled rice together (A) .....and the remaining ingredients together (B). Grind the B part first and then the A part. This makes idli softer.
  ALL THE BEST

  To smitha:
  
  Smitha,
  Was it you who was sending e-mail attachments to my old rajneesh@telusplanet.net e-mail address. I am curious. In the past, I was receiving these attachments from this "smitha" and was wondering if it was you. Not that it is bad. I am just curious. Now back to the topic...
  
  What is idlis high in healthwise?

  Skantha!
  
  You can't get high on Idlis, less you have sambar to go with!
  
  Actually Idli goes well with Remy Martin!

  I mean, are they high in protein or in carb or something along that line?
  
  
• From: Ramadas (@ dclient80-218-16-146.hispeed.ch) on: Sat Jun 7 12:09:59 EDT 2003
  
  Skan,
  They are high in carb. But very safe even for convalescing patients, because the cooking is done by steaming and no oil is used.
