Notes

  1. As said earier , typically cooked rice is used . So , if you are OK with it repalce sabudana with equal quantity of cooked rice .
  2. I use small variety sabudana . So 4-5 hours soaking time enough. However , if you are using , bigger type, then you will have to soak them overnight . or the quickest way is add sabudana to hot water and keep it closed for 2-3 hours . This will reduce soaking time .
  3. Adding cooking soda is optional. In hotels they use but i dont use it. You try and see which way you like.
  4. The final batter should be smoother than the normal idli batter .
  5. You can find thatte idli stand easily in steel vessel selling shops .
