Makes nice idli, but I prefer idlis from the other batters I have been making. I found these idlis a bit hard/rubbery as compared to the other methods.
If you want to make idlis for dinner, soak the grains on the previous day morning, grind at night and let the batter ferment overnight and the next day till dinner.
