5. after 15 minutes mix a packet of eno (approx 5 gms) into the batter.
6. Grease the idli stand a little bit with oil and then fill in the batter. You can also add a little bit of grated cheese on the filled idlis. I had added cheese in a few and some grated carrot in other few because my son loves carrot.
7. steam the idlis for 10 minutes and then put the flame off. Wait for 5 minutes and then open the lid. Once it comes to room temperature u can pierce a knife and check weather its cooked or not. If its cooked then the knife will come out clean.
8. Once the chutney is ready you can do a basic waghaar which is oil tempering on your idlis. I have mentioned the ingredients in the list above. Simply heat oil, then add rai. Once it splatters add curry leaves and dry red chilli. If you are making this for your kids then you can avoid dry red chilli. But if you want to make it a bit spicy then add dry red chilli otherwise just skip it. turn off the flame. Now immediately pour this onto the idlis.
