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.
@@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 .
Thank you so much Ma'm! I have been trying to make idlis on and off for last 20 years. This is the first time I could make such soft and spongy idli like a professional! This idli simply melts in mouth. Thank you so much for your great tips.🙏😊
Nice explanation. I do in the same way for the last 35 years. I started with aattikallu 1 st then to a grinder which is so big. Now table top. Soft idli s very good for health.
Mam, by chance v saw your vedio & prepared as per your methods. It came out very soft & everybody in our family liked. V also prepared plate. Whenever v prepare idly v will certainly adopt, no chance of another vies. Many thanks.🎉

Amazing recipe . Thank you. Be happy.Have a great day.
Thanks a lot madam padhu, I followed your idli making recipe exactly as you showed and successfully made soft idlis. My family, esp my 6 yr old son and elder daughter loved and praised my preparation I made tomato chutney to go with my idlis. 🙏💯😇

Thanks, so much, i simply love all your recipes and tips, and so much of positivity in your voice. Like you said" if you follow all the tips, anyone can make soft idli's" That's is the essence of a good You tuber :-) Keep inspiring :-) can you share the link to buy this idli cooker? Also kindly add the links of chutney to the video if possible for easy access :-) I tried searching for one, but there are so many :D
@@Padhus-kitchen one Q is checked the wet grinder link to buy , one of my friend said it’s better to buy round than triangle shape stone , is it correct? Will it make difference?
@@soniajuneja9256 - Yes that is the link to buy, if interested. I am using only ultra grinder with conical stone for more than a decade. It has not given me any issues. Recently only I changed the grinder (again ultra only) because that has not given my any issues. I have no idea, if round stone is better than conical or triangle shaped stone.
@@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
@@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.
Madam, What I loved about your video is, you explained the process perfactly unlike 90 percent of people who post their videos. Another unrelated thing I loved was you used the word Ground instead of presently video posting people say Grinded.😂.

Thanks for showing a perfact video to make idlies. Mitka Nandri. Chef Hemant. By the way I am 71 years young and have been cooking for over 50 years.
