*NOTES:

• Try to use all the batter in one steaming lot. If you keep the batter for the second round of steaming the idlis won’t come out as soft as the first batch.
• The batter should have a medium consistency and should be neither too thick nor too thin.
• You can add some curd with water too instead of making the batter completely with water.
• Allow the steamed idlis to stand for some minutes and then remove them using a spoon dipped in hot water so that they do not leave the shape.
• To make the idlis less sticky, make a coarse powder of oats.
• Do not worry if the batter doesn’t rise, it is because we are letting it sit for a very short amount of time.
• Roast the oats on medium flame, else the idli will turn sticky and hard.
