Notes

Soaking kavuni rice for longer time make it easier to grind it smoothly.
Adding aval makes this idli soft and fluffy.
When you dilute it with water u can make dosas it turns out well.
It need not be soaked individually it turns out good as per my recipe itself.
You can replace kavuni rice with brown rice also.
