Step 4: Add a small blob of chopped ginger, a teaspoon of cumin , fennel , asafoetida (very important for a healthy digestion especially for Gerd / IBS etc ) , salt to taste , chopped green chilly (optional and best avoided for Gerd / hptlori ) and a small bulb of chopped fresh cilantro and mix well . Add a teaspoon of fruit salts which make it fluffy and soft on steaming. Avoid if you don’t have it . (So sorry but no images as my phone got hung . )

Step 5: Steaming : Now its time to steam the batter in a idli steamer as in the image . Add a dash of oil to the steamer plates so it does not stick . Layer one on top of another and insert into a pressure cooker . Add 1.5 cup water and steam with the lid on for 25 minutes (with no whistle ) until it’s cooked through.

Step 6: Once it’s done gently open the cooker as per cooker package instructions . Let the idlis cool . Gently remove with a sharp knife . Serve hot with either ready made chutney powder or Sambhar (spicy lentil curry, recipe on the blog ) , dig into your gratifying low carb dinner, bon appetite .
