Being away from India I have struggled to get the perfect idli batter recipe for years. The first time I tried to make the batter was a hilarious episode that I can never forget. It was a cold month of Feb and I was craving for super soft idlis.  Called Amma and got the recipe from her 4:1 Parboiled rice and Urad. I got Uncle Bens parboiled rice and Urad dal ....and made the batter...waited waited waited for it to ferment for 3 days !!!! it did not ferment but still went ahead and made the idlis...and the idlis turned out to be like soap 😂.
