Key Questions Answered
To make Murmura Idli, you need about 2 cups of puffed rice, half a cup of fresh curd, 1 cup of semolina, a little oil, 1 small teaspoon of fruit salt, and water as needed.
After mixing the ground puffed rice, curd, semolina, oil, and water, cover the bowl and let the batter rest for about 5 minutes so the semolina can absorb moisture and swell.
Once the molds are filled with the prepared batter, place the idli stand in the hot steamer and steam the idlis on high heat for about 10 minutes.
