I hit the yogurt function and it set the default temperature at 109F. I use it for yogurt all the time and never needed to change. The batter started to stick to the pot, it was too hot for it. Then I reduced the temp to 80F. Do you have any specific temp you leave the batter at or your IP does not have the temperature?

For those in Cole climate, I was having trouble with IP and batter rising, after previous successes. I’ve found a small towel over the clear glass IP lid seems to ensure success! As well as using water from soaked urad dal. We use “smoothie” setting on vitamix so batter doesn’t get too hot and sometimes add some ice cubes before grinding.

Dosas came out great! I never thought to use an Instant pot for this before. I also never used idly rice either. I always mixed cooked rice with raw and it worked well. However, this recipe was WAY EASIER than my old school method. I used a Vitamix to grind everything. I fermented the batter in my instant pot for 15 hours. The batter needed to be a little more finely ground, so I ground it again in the Bullet. We decided we like our dosas a little more sour, so I added homemade yogurt instead of water to thin the batter down. I added the salt, besan and sugar at that point as well when grinding in the Bullet. Also, I used an onion speared with a fork to spread the ghee on the tawa. The dosas were beautiful and tasted like the restaurant. Thanks Ashley for making dosas easier for me. My previous method was way harder and more time consuming for nearly the same result.

Hi Surbhee, I will add this to my list of videos to make! If you saw my earlier reply, please ignore that – you don’t need the steam button – you can use the manual/pressure cook button! I hope that helps!

I highly recommend this recipe; it is simple and easy to follow. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by how fluffy our idlis turned out this morning! This batter recipe is effective and inexpensive- I’m happy that I no longer need to buy pre-made idli/Dosa batter!

In reply to Jenny.

Jenny, that’s a great idea! I haven’t tried but think it’d work well with the egg bite mold – let me know how it goes if you try!
