Pundi recipe (Basic)

Ingredients:

Dosa Rice - 2 cups

Salt for taste

Procedure:

Soak Dosa rice in water at least for four hours. Grind rice along with salt; do not make it very watery. 

Once you are done, heat little oil in a frying pan, and add the batter to this pan. Keep mixing it thoroughly. When it becomes little thick, rub little oil to your palms and start making small balls. 

P.S: You can avoid heating the batter in a pan. Instead you can grind the mixture thick and immediately make small balls and keep them in the idly vessel.
But I always suggest, you mix it thoroughly in a pan. This makes the surface smooth and soft.

Meanwhile, boil water in an idly vessel. Keep these balls in the idly vessel, insert the lid and let them cook. Let the flame be in medium. Wait for 15 minutes. To see if it's cooked, insert a knife randomly on these and check. If the knife comes out clean, these are cooked. If not, the under-cooked pundis will stick to the knife. 

You can serve this with chutney or sambhar or fish curry.
