Soft Idli Tips-How to make Perfect Batter for Soft Idlis-Idli Dosa Batter Recipe-Spongy Idli Secrets

[@1101smartkooldude]

how to keep after grinding to get proper fermentation in cold weather where it 35-55 F.

[@Padhus-kitchen]

Basic requirement for fermentation is a warm temperature. These tips might help you. 1. Mix the batter well with your hands. The heat from the hands will aid in fermentation. 2. Wrap it in a blanket and leave it for fermentation. Use a big vessel so that the batter does not overflow and make a mess. 3. Switch on the oven lights and keep it inside the oven. Leave it there for a day 4.Another option is - you can pre heat at very low temperature for 10 mins. TURN OFF THE OVEN. Switch on the lights alone and leave the batter for 15 hours or more. 5. Keep it near a room heater where it is warm. Let me know if any of the above helped you after trying it our, so that it will be useful for others living in cold places. I am in South India, where the weather is hot, so fermentation is not an issue at all.

[@1101smartkooldude]

@@Padhus-kitchen I am from chennai too but currently living in US so it is cold during this period yesterday i tried, it was ok but it didn't get fermented. Next time i will try your tips and then i will comment on this .

Actually Air should enter inside the batter, air will convert batter into fermentation. Mix batter DOWN TO UP in hand for 4 to 6 mnts.

@@Padhus-kitchen Thank you, One Q on coconut scrapping - Like we are not that used to - to break the coconut, scrap, and make chutney every day due to morning rush hours. Is there any way to store the scraped coconut or whole coconut? or how to store the chutney

[@Padhus-kitchen]

@@soniajuneja9256 - I store the grated coconut in a freezer safe container in the freezer. If you find it difficult to grate coconut - you can follow this - after breaking the coconut - with a knife scrape and remove the flesh - put it in a mixie and blitz it for few seconds. You can store that in the freezer. But coconut chutney will be good only with freshly grated coconut. You can use the stored coconut for other dishes. Another alternative is - if you keep the whole coconut in the freezer, it will come off its shell easily. Then you can cut it into small pieces and blitz it in the mixie.
