    While grinding add just enough water to make it into a very very smooth batter

    water - as required
  10. 10

    The batter will look fluffy

  11. 11

    Pour this batter into a large container

  12. 12

    Next grind the soya bean into a fine smooth batter

    soybeans (whole soya dal)(1 cup)
  13. 13

    While grinding add just enough water to make it into a very very smooth batter

    Pour this batter into the urad dal

  16. 16

    Grind the rice into a smooth paste, adding just the required amount of water to grind into a almost smooth batter

    idli rice(2 cups)water - as required
  17. 17

    Adding too much water will make the dosa batter too watery

    water - as required

    The rice batter is a little coarser, but the urad dal batter is super smooth

  20. 20

    Combine the urad , soya bean and rice batter, add salt to taste and set aside for at least 12 hours or overnight until the batter ferments

  21. 21

    You will notice the batter would have risen in volume

  22. 22

    Hence you should place the batter in a large container so it has enough room to increase in its volume

  23. 23

    To make the soya idlisGrease the idli molds with a little sesame oil or ghee

    idli rice(2 cups)soybeans (whole soya dal)(1 cup)

    idli rice(2 cups)
  26. 26

    Pour spoonfuls of the batter into these moulds

  27. 27

    Do make sure you fill the soya idli batter only half way through as they will rise up to the top when steamed
