Preparing perfect batter to get soft idlis and crispy dosas

Miss your mummy’s delicious crispy dosas? Tired of not getting your batter right? Here, I suggest you a few pointers on how to get perfect batter.

While making the batter for idlis make sure that the ratio of dal and rawa is in the ratio of 1 ½:1.
Make the batter for the idli thick and make sure that it is not completely smooth. It should be a little grainy. Then only, soft idlis can be made.

While you are grinding the ingredients for any batter, make sure that the heat from the grinder does not get to the batter. If it is so, then the batter may get spoiled.
Keep adding small quantities of water into the batter to cool it down
In case of vada preparation, pour water only according to the requirement. If you add too much of water, then the batter absorbs too much of oil during frying.
The batter for vadas should be approximately 10 percent thicker than idlis.
