## Notes

* firstly, using idli rice makes idli and dosa very soft. so recommend using idli rice itself and not sona masuri rice.

* also, if you are looking for an alternative for poha, then you can use murmura.

* additionally, add salt just before preparing dosa or idli as it helps to keep the batter fresh.

* finally, **idli dosa batter recipe** can also be used to prepare uttapam, paniyaram or punugulu.
