Good recipe, but the ingredients could be clarified. The ingredients say "par-boiled cooked rice". I suspect this just means regular parboiled rice out of the bag, right? <br/><br/>Usually idli batter is made from either raw rice or parboiled rice (which looks pretty much like raw rice). Parboiled rice is rice that was partially boiled and then sun dried before dehusking and packaging. Supposedly this process (1) causes some of the nutrition from the husk to go into the rice grain; (2) changes the starch so that it cooks more quickly; (3) makes softer idli than raw rice does.1Reply
