- Place the idli stand in steamer.
- Steam the idli for around 8 – 10 minutes.
- Leave the idli outside for a minute or two to cool them down after applying a drop of ghee on each idli so that the top layer doesn’t dry out..

Notes
Make sure idli is steamed well before removing from heat.
Suggestions: If horse gram is not cooked well, boil in enough water till they turn soft. Since the skin is pretty thick, it will never be too soft to grind.
