.
Ingredients 
1/2 cup whole Urad Dal (recommended) I used split Urad Dal
2 cups Idli or parboiled rice 
1 tsp fenugreek seeds 
Pinch of heeng, salt to taste
.
▶️ Rinse Dal 4-5 times or until water is clear, soak in enough water overnight/atleast 6-8 hours. Follow the same step for rice, soak along with fenugreek seeds. Soak Dal & rice in different containers. 
▶️ When ready to blend - Do not drain water from soaked dal & rice,use the same water to prep the batter. Use a high speed blender, time can vary depending on the blender used, these timings are as per Nutribullet - results 💯 
▶️ Ideally first blend Dal until coarse followed by adding rice but since this was a smaller quantity considering the size of my jar I blended it all together and it worked well.
▶️ Add Dal, Rice & fenugreek seeds to a jar - try blending without water but if not slowly add water little by little as needed, we need a thick consistency. Blend on medium speed for 3-4 minutes. Stir the batter in between to blend evenly water if needed - blend on high for 6-7 mins continuously. 
▶️ Batter should be smooth as shown in the video. Transfer to a bowl,cover with a lid and let it sit on your counter top overnight or for 12-15 hours. Now it’ll be nicely fermented, ready to refrigerate in an air tight container. ▶️ When prepping idlis add a pinch of salt & heeng, stir. Make idlis in a steamer or microwave Idli maker, enjoy with Sambhar/chutney/ghee & podi
