Idli will turn spongy only if mixture is fermented properly, so we have to be very attentive while while making the mixture. We also have to plan earlier, if we want to make the Idli on Sunday, then those living in hot places have to soak Dal on Saturday morning itself. While those living in cold regions need to soak Dal on Friday morning as fermentation is slow if the weather is cold. So lets start preparing Dal Idli.
