In Part 2 of Making Idlis with Shan Parmley, we mixed the fermented idli rice and the fermented urad dal together and let the mixture ferment for 18 hours. In this episode, Shan shows us how to steam the idlis. You can use either the stainless steel idli pan or the microwave steamer. The benefit of the microwave steamer is that you do not need to use non-stick spray or oil, and it takes six minutes or less in the microwave. If you do not like using plastic, I recommend the stainless steel pan, which you will need to cook for about 14 minutes. Enjoy!
