15 minutes

1

Dry roast the semolina till it is aromatic. Remove from fire and allow it to cool.
2

Mix in semolina, curd, water, and salt to form a smooth paste. Let it stand for a minimum of 10 minutes so that the semolina can soak in the liquids.
3

When ready to cook, add in 1 tsp of Eno fruit salt. Mix well stirring in one direction only.
4

Fill in the water into steamer to the desired level making sure it does not touch the idli mould.
5

Grease the idli mould. Pour in the idli batter uptil three-fourths. This ensures that the idlis have space to rise.
6

Cook for 10 minutes or until the idlis are cooked. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
7

Demould the idlis and keep aside.
8

Heat oil in a pan.
