Idli is a universally accepted comfort food. It has the right proportion of lentils (proteins and rice ( carbs) for a healthy breakfast. Urad Dal is the main component of the Idli. It is so important to make a perfect Idli. The main deal to get a soft Idli is to master the ratio of dal to rice. In thsi recipe, I have replaced the regular white Urad Dal with whole black urad dal. Black urad dal is very good for the heart and bones. These black urad dal are brimming with health benefits. I made Idlis with these and they were very much soft , that it has become frequent in our menu. Follow every single step, from the measurements and the procedure here to achieve a tasty, soft, and healthy Idli.
