The fermentation time depends on the outside temperature as if it is very hot you get it fermentedsoon, whereas in rainy season this will take extra 2 hours.

My usually says it depends on the body heat of the person who grinds the batter and mix salt usinghands.

Normally i soak for idli in the evening around 5 0 clock and grind at 9 pm.

I allow it to sit overnight and make idlis for next day breakfast.

before fermentation after fermentation

Always grind with enough water . If the batter is thick and after fermentation even if you add water tomake it into a right consistency, it will not result in soft idlis.

The proper aeration should be there and the batter should be light and fluffy after fermentation.

If making dosa just add few tablespoon of water and make crispy dosas.

If you stay in a cold place just keep the batter inside a cup board or microwave oven(switched off) to getgood fermentation.

Always transfer the ground batter to a big container as the quantity will double after fermentation.

Instead of poha some people may add cooked rice too, but somehow my mom and mil will not agree toit as they do not eat left over cooked rice.

Do not add more poha as it will result in flat idlis.
