Drain the soaked ingredients and blend them until smooth, adding water as needed to achieve a thick batter consistency.

Add salt to the batter and mix well.

Ferment the batter in a warm place for several hours until bubbly and risen.

Prepare the steaming equipment by boiling water in a large pot.

Grease idli molds with oil to prevent sticking.

Pour the fermented batter into the molds, filling them halfway.

Steam the idlis for 10-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
