  • Wash and soak poha in curd for 3-4 mins . Since its thin variety , it will become mushy . Mash nicely.

Notes

  • If you want you can do the batter before hand n do idlis in the morning . You can keep in fridge / outside to ferment a bit . Your choice . Still comes out good .
  • I feel coz of poha and no fermentation , these idlis are little bland in taste . So a spicy side dish will take these idlis to a new level .
