2. To make the idli’s, grease the moulds of idli stand and pour a ladleful of batter into each of them.

3. Add 150 ml water in the pot and stack the racks in the pot. Set hob to highest level, switch on Audiotherm, enter approx. 6 minutes cooking time, fit it on Visiotherm and turn until the steam symbol appears.
