Thanks for the recipe Kamala. Does this need to ferment overnight like the idli batter?
Hi Lavanya,
No. Not necessary to ferment. You can make it immediately on grinding like adai. In fact it tastes like adai only.

I guess one should use parboiled rice?
Hi Swaminathan,
You can use any type of rice. I used raw rice.
