Want to buy idli rice in Prague? Annam Idly Rice is a speciality short-grain rice essential for making authentic idli and dosa batter — available at Samaann with fast delivery across Prague and Czech Republic.
Regular rice cannot substitute for idli rice. The short, thick grains of idli rice absorb water differently and ferment with urad dal to produce the airy, fluffy texture that defines perfect idlis and crispy dosas. Using basmati or sona masoori for idli batter results in heavy, flat idlis.
Batter preparation: soak idli rice and urad dal separately for 6-8 hours. Grind rice to a slightly coarse paste and urad dal to a smooth paste. Mix, add salt, and ferment for 8-12 hours (in Prague’s cold weather, keep in the oven with just the light on for warmth). The batter should double in volume.
This 5kg pack lasts 4-6 weeks if you make idli/dosa weekly. Store in an airtight container.
Serve your idlis with sambar made using Toor Dal and coconut chutney. For dosa, spread batter thin on a hot tawa, add oil, and cook until crispy. Fill with potato masala seasoned with Dhaniya Powder and Fresh Green Chilies.
