Add curd to this and mix well (add as much as curd is required to make this mixture a dropping-consistency mixture). Add 1/4 spoon hing . Add as much as salt required and mix well. Close this and leave it for the night. In the morning take a kadai and add 6 spoons oil and 3 spoons ghee and boil it. Pour this oil-ghee mixture in the batter. Add cumin seeds as much required so that you get a couple of seeds in every piece. Add grounded pepper (make sure it has the flavor of pepper.So add pepper accordingly). Mix the batter well and leave it for 15 minutes before you make idlis with this. Cook like normal idlis.
