Method :

                    In a vessel soak Urid dhal and methi seeds together. And in a separate vessel soak idli rice + raw rice together for 6 to 8 hours. Grind bit coarsely soaked urid + methi first and keep it in a vessel and then grind rice ...to this add salt and mix it well and allow it to ferment well. (You can grind it in grinder or mixie. I have used mixie).
