Instant Cornmeal Idli
I found a packet of broken corn during my last visit to my super market. My first plan is to make idlies, puttu and upma using that.This is a instant kind of idli made with curd. But there is another version which is made with grinding urad dal and adding this to that. Will share that as well soon.

I prepared your mother's appam recipe today. I did exactly the same way but added sugar, salt and cooking soda instantly after grinding. I am worried about cooking soda. I kept the batter outside for fermentation.
Adding cooking soda earlier is harmful or
not?
Please reply ASAP..........
Aarthi
@Bala JayaseelanYou should not add cooking soda immediately. It should be added at the last minute alone.
