• salt -3/4 tsp

method

• rinse the rice thoroughly  for 3-4 times and soak  in  enough  water  for 4 hours 
• rinse  the  dal once  and  soak for 4 hours ( I usually refrigerate the dal for the last 2 hours because it helps to grind the dal without getting hot )
• similarly  soak  the fenugreek seeds also
• then grind the dal along with salt  and enough water until  soft and fluffy (I use  the dal soaked  water for grinding dal and rice as it speeds  up the fermentation )  While grinding the dal, don't allow it to become  too hot .You can add some ice cubes also .
• grind the rice and fenugreek seeds using the  dal soaked  water into a fine  paste
• mix this with the ground dal and  stir  with your hands for 10 minutes .
• the batter must be of correct consistency ,not too thin,not too  thick.
• let the batter ferment for 10-12 hours . 
• do not use an air tight container for fermenting the batter 
• stir the fermented batter very gently 
• ladle out the batter into a greased idli tray and steam cook for  10 minutes .
• after removing from the steamer allow them to cool for a couple of minutes and then remove from the tray
• serve the idlis with chutney and sambar.
