Method

Grease the idli moulds and pour the idli batter into each mould.
Our tip Stir the batter gently, just enough to even it out. Beating it knocks out the air from fermentation, and the idlis come out flat and dense.
Add 250 ml1 cup water to the combi pan and place the idli stand over it.
Slide the combi pan into LEVEL 1.
Move the SmartSwitch to Cooker mode, select Steam function, set time . Close the door (the unit will steam for before cooking).
Once done, remove and serve hot idlis.
Our tip Push a toothpick into one: it should come out clean. Let the stand rest for a few minutes, then lift the idlis out with a wet spoon so they don't tear.
