For Nice golden brown dosa, I suggest you to use iron griddle and also cook the dosa in medium high heat. Adding poha gives not only soft and white idlis and also it gives nice crispy and brown crust dosa. If you haven't tried making idli batter as per My above recipe, please give it a try using all the ingredients above mentioned and also follow the instructions as per the recipe. You will definitely get a soft idlis and crispy brown dosa. Good Luck.

It gets soggy and deep brown or just stays white. List of things I tried: 3:1 & 3:1.5 rice to urad dal ratio. Good quality urad dal but not udhayam (I don't get it here).I use a non-stick tawa. Added oil while making dosa but didn't help much.I use mixie. Batter ferments well; idlys turn out soft but not in white color. So 2 problems 1. idly becomes dull white in color 2. dosa becomes soggy, more like a soft cloth. please help.

First thanks for trying my recipe!
If...Hi Pankaja,<br />First thanks for trying my recipe! <br />If you live in colder place and if the batter doesn't ferment overnight, here are few tips i can suggest you - if u have oven, keep the batter bowl in the oven with its light only turn on or if u have microwave keep the bowl in the microwave with slightly door open, so that the light will be on. this way you get enough warm temp for fermenting. The next day definitely your batter will be fermented, if not fermented not problem do not leave the batter till other day night...simple stir the batter and if u have eno fruit salt..then add 2 tsp eno fruit salt, sprinkle little water and mix the batter well. And make idli with this batter, definitely ur idlis will be super soft, white and good taste. Then make dosa the next day.<br />Too much fermented batter will make ur idlis brownish or half white, u said that your batter is doubled so its too much fermented i think...<br />The perfect fermented batter will be light, airy with bubbles here n there and will not raised too much...<br />If your batter fermented too much n get sour smell, then don't make idlis try dosa & Paniyaram.<br />Hope this helps...please feel free to ask me any doubts and am sorry that ur idli did not turn good this time....don't leave the batter for such long time..over night or 8 -10 hrs is more than enough. <br />Sangeetha Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060391666080739456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420079078003759982.post-83445159071555539492013-09-12T14:52:10.803-05:002013-09-12T14:52:10.803-05:00Hi Sangeetha,

I always use to buy idli rice for making idli , still idlis are not so soft.. your instructions are so good ...Easy to follow. I made the idli as you instructed... Next day morning batter was not fermented as it was little colder in night. I let the batter ferment till night. The batter did ferment become almost more than double.. I hope it is too much fermented... I made idli that night ...The idli's were soft and taste by there was brown colored patches on idli ..Please suggest what's reason for that... I did not give good mix as you suggested not to over mix the batter after fermentation... what is reason for this brown patched...<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Pankaja.Pankajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343276315766414773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420079078003759982.post-19076660906972609662013-07-27T07:06:26.017-05:002013-07-27T07:06:26.017-05:00Yes.,You can make dosa on the same day batter afte...Yes.,You can make dosa on the same day batter after 8 hrs fermentation.
