Grind them for 4o minutes to smooth paste by adding water with regular intervals so that the grinder will work comfortably.
Add salt while grinding at the final stage as needed.
Collect the batter into a big bowl.

The consistency is somewhat thick, when poured into the idli moulds, the batter should attain full shape of the mould without leaking in the sides.
Close the bowl with lid.
Allow the batter overnight or to eight hours to ferment.
Mix well.
Pour the batter into the idli moulds which are greased with gingelly oil.
Place the idli moulds into the Idli making vessel with three cups of water by heating to seven minutes.
Switch off the flame.
Open the lid of Idli making vessel or Idli cooker.

To check the cooking stage of idlies, insert the wet thin stick into idlies.
Take out the stick and see whether it is nonsticky. If so, the idlies come out, well cooked.
Remove the idlies from the moulds after two minutes with a little spatula or big spoon dipped in water.
