Let it sit for 10 minutes. Grease plates with in the mean time. Add 1 teaspoon salt or salt to taste and mix. Add a pinch of baking soda and mix. Pour prepared batter into idli plates. Batter has to be used immediately since we used soda. Pour 2 cups water in the cooker and place the idli plates in them. Close the lid without the whistle. Steam for 10 -12 minutes. Do a toothpick test. Poke a toothpick in the idli, if there is no batter residue on the toothpick then the idli is cooked completely. Let it cool down for 5 minutes and serve.
