Ingredients

3 cups rice, uncooked
1 cup black lentils, uncooked, split without skin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation

Soak rice and lentils in water. Grind the lentils in a food processor or liquidizer to a smooth paste.
Grind rice not too fine, a little coarse. Mix the two pastes and add salt. Let the batter ferment for 12-14 hours at a warm place (avoid the inside of the oven or on top of a gas stove).
Just before cooking, add the baking soda. Steam idlis on idli moulds. Serve with sambar.

Helpful hints

Lentils contribute extra potassium and phosphorus, so portion must be limited to 2 rice idles.
Sambar is a vegetable stew containing pigeon peas, tamarind, vegetables and ground spices. It is very popular in southern India.
Serve with cilantro chutney or with a dollop of butter topped with a spoon of sugar.
