Idli and dosa adorn the prime positions among the popular breakfast dishes in India. They taste delicious when they are served with thick coconut chutney and flavourful sambar. However, making the idli batter is a long process that requires soaking of rice and urad dal for at least 6 hours, then grinding them to a smooth batter and leaving the batter to rise overnight.
