I have shared a no fail 2 in 1 idli dosa batter measurement using Wet grinder  with some tips.

Serving: Depends on the usage for 2 person it will come for 4-5 days .

Soaking Time- For rice minimum 3 - 4 hrs.

                              For Urad Dhal 2-3 hrs.

Fermentation Time : 8 hrs .

Grinding Time - For rice : 20-25 mins.

                                 For Urad Dhal : 40 Mins.

Cooking Time : For Idli 10-12 mins.

                               For Dosa 2 mins.

Ingredients:

IDLY RICE: 4 Cups (1 Kg) (wash and soak 3-4hrs ) Urad dal: 1.25 cup (225 gms ) (wash and soak for 3hrs along with Fenugreek) Fenugreek: 1/2 TSP Salt: 2 tbsp and you can adjust during cooking. Water : 600ml less/more (approx)

Note:Here the climate is cold so the fermentation took more time but I have shown the batter consistency exactly after 8 hrs.

Grinding Method with tips:

Step by Step pictures for easy understanding. Check our youtube channel for visuals to get the right consistency of the batter.

1. Soak the rice and urad dal with fenugreek seeds separately.

Tips for Urad Dal batter:

1. Always grind Urad dal first for easy cleaning of grinder. 

2. Do not add water for first three minutes while putting the dal inside the grinder.

3. If water is poured initially with dal means it will not grind, instead the dal will float and it will never grind smoothly.

4. So add water little by little and grind. To be precise sprinkle water and grind. So don't use water for dal grinding at the beginning.

5. Grind fenugreek with urad dal.

6. Urad dhal should be soaked with fenugreek seeds at least for 2-3 hrs.

Consistency of urad dal is below.

Once the dal batter is ready collect it in a container like below.

Tips for Rice grinding :

1. Rice should be soaked for 3- 4 hrs minimum.

2. Add a cup of water in the grinder before adding rice. After 5 minutes of grinding add more water. This will help you to grind the rice in quicktime and less load to the grinder motor.

Rice batter consistency in below picture.

Then add the rice batter to the urad dal batter.

Add Salt.

Mix Well till the both batter combines well with clean hand for better fermentation.

Divide the batter and pour it into two container to 3/4 th level and allow it to ferment for 8 hrs.

Fermented batter after 8 hrs. Here the climate is cold so the fermentation took more time but I have shown the batter consistency exactly after 8 hrs.

In idli maker boil water

No need to add water for idli making you can use the fermented batter as such.

Grease the idli plate with oil before pouring batter if the plate has holes use cloth.

Pour the batter and steam cook for 10 minutes

After taking out the idli plate wait for a minute before scooping out the idli with spoon. You can dip the spoon in water before scooping for non stick idli.

For making Dosa take batter in seperate bowl and add water for pouring consistency but not too thin or thick.

Heat Dosa tawa grease with oil pour the batter make dosa add oil around the dosa and cook till done.

Now Dosa and Idli are ready to be served .

Other Tips:

Never mix dal and rice together for grinding. You will not get the desired result.

Water quantity & time will vary little bit depending on the weather condition & quality of rice and dal.

Natural Fermentation time also depends on climate :

8 hrs in summer 12 hrs/more in winter(keep in warm place during winter for better fermentation.) 

For best dosa experience use Iron dosa tawa.
