Hi Mullai, Thanks a lot for the wonderful receipe of idli & dosa.Tried out both of them & they came out really good.Adding soyabean makes it all the more healthy.I also wanted to know if I could use the combination of jasmine rice & parbolied rice,will that work ? Thanks once again.

Nice Recipe. I tried it out today: 5 cups par boiled, 1 cup soya, 2 cups urad dhal. It came out so soft. Had to use whatever rice I had but it came out well. Thanks for your recipe.

Hi Kavi, Please tell us the name of the raw rice in american store.

Also i could not find Uncleben parboiled rice in walmart. Where can i get this? Is there any other alternative rice brand i can use for dosai and idlli. Please suggest. Thanks for helping us

hi mullai,

thanks for giving suggestions and if u dont mind ...u have used raw rice in this receipe...is it from indian store or american store...pls specify them with brand name

Looks so good. Mouthwatering goodness. Appidiya edduthu sapidonum polla irruku. Thanks !

Hi Mullai, Soya beans is a real touch in that.good idea. Thanks.

I have tried with long grain rice...but the problem was it was sticky ...like ganji...

Let me try with parboiled rice. 

thanks kavi, i tried making dosa with long grain rice and urud daal and fenugreek. it came good. but didn't have the courage to try that for iddli. thanks for solving that.

Dera Kaviarun,
Is this raw rice an Uncles Bens product or from an indian store

Can i get dried soy bean from Wal-mart?? pls. let me know.

Kavi, no doubt you solved the problem which every south indian is facing in US now - i mean since we are running out of idli rice, this helps all of us to make wonderful idli and dosa. Thanks!

hi mullai,
this is nice idea of making idli and dosa....but where an i get parboiled rice....? is it from american store ....

Thank u Cap,abhi,priya and divya.....Priya dosai ungalukku thaan, yeduthukkonga.

kavi, adding soya,really very good idea.I've doubt to use l.grains for idli, b'cose we r in demand for idli rice here. u've cleard it now.ur dosa tempting me too much that too with kara chutney.Thanks for sharing

Kavi,is raw rice (long grain) also known as Jasmine rice? Thanks for the recipe.

Kavi unga recipe yenna madhiri idlirice kidaikkadha idathula irrukaravangalluku....helpfullana recipe...thank u very much...idli and dosai kanna parikudhu....nice idea.... Divya Mubarak

Wow Kavi..great presentation, unga dosai va va'nu kupiduthu..soyabean is a really a wonderful idea..superb creativity Kavi..

yummy..kavi, would you mind sharing the tawa you are using to make dosai? non-stick or cast-iron griddle?

Kavi,
Kalakeeteenga. Good presentation and soft idlies. soy bean and long grain rice is a good idea. will try soon. Nice attempt.

Hi all, Try using aval instead of soya bean(if u don't have any). For 4 cups rice ,add 1 cup soaked aval ..Grind aval separately.If you add aval there is  no need to add parboiled rice also. I made this way and Idli came out really good and soft.

Hi mullai, i am a recent vistor of ur site. Now its like an addiction i check it everyday....YOU r doing a wonderful job...keep it up..i have a few questions..which blender are you using to grind idli n dosa?

Great try... jus wanted to clarify if idlis r soft enough even after refrigeration n use. For i tried to use channa dal instead of soy in my trials.. the idlis were soft only the first time after fermentation.. however dosais turn crispy.. please lemme know!!

Hi Mullai, I used Uncle Ben's parboiled rice and raw rice is from my local American grocery store....thanks for giving me a chance to share my recipes.

Nice one kavi..Very useful for all.

Have a great day

Kavi, arumaiyana yosanai. Thanks a bunch for this great presentation and idea. With Idli rice out of question, sure this would definitely benefit all of us. BTW, if by any chance you have the brand names for par-boiled and raw rice used in this recipe...pls specify them. Thanks again.
