Fermentation takes less time when the weather is hot (7-8 hours). But in the winter season, fermentation takes longer and keeping overnight is not sufficient. So, here the tips to make perfect idli batter with quick fermentation in the cooler season. The main difference of temperature exists in winter, other tips should be followed in all seasons.
Upon searching for uses of fermentation, I came across an article and was so overwhelmed by nutritional benefits of fermentation. I am bound to share the facts and figures with you. This increased volume of idli batter is due to the incorporation of lactic acid bacteria into the batter during fermentation and entrapment of air.
During fermentation, maximum production of riboflavin and thiamine were found to be 0.76 mg/100 gm and 0.73 mg/100 gm in 3:1 blend ratio of idli batter; and the folic acid content was found to be at a maximum of 0.75 mg/100 gm of idli batter after 10 h of fermentation. Those who want to go deeper into the whole process of idli making including fermentation can soon look for a separate post.
