The whole recipe, unchanged
Rice and urad dal are soaked overnight. They are ground slow on stone, not blitzed, because stone keeps the batter cool and the grain gives up its starch in its own time. Then it is left to ferment on its own schedule, however long that takes on the day.
That is the entire method. It is more work than making a week of batter at once, and it is the reason ours behaves the way it does on a hot tawa.
- Stone ground
- Naturally fermented
- Small batches
- Ground the same day
How a day at Homy runs
Every morning starts again from soaked grain. Nothing is held over from yesterday.
Soak
Idli rice and whole urad dal go into water the previous evening, measured to the same ratio every day.
Grind
Ground slow on stone through the night, in small batches, so the batter never heats up.
Ferment
Left to rise on its own. No soda, no starter, nothing to hurry it along.
Pack and deliver
Filled, chilled and out for delivery the next morning, before the first tiffin goes on.
What goes in, and what does not
The ingredient list is short enough to say out loud. If something is not on it, it is not in the batter.
In the batter
Idli rice and whole urad dal
A little fenugreek
Salt
Time
Never in it
No preservatives, no soda, no thickeners and no colour.
Why it keeps for days, not weeks
Because nothing is added to stop it fermenting. Refrigerate and use within 3 to 4 days.
Made where we sell it
Ground at our own unit on Avvai Nagar Main Road. Nothing is bought in and rebranded.
Homy Food has been grinding in Thiruvanmiyur since 2017. The method has not changed in that time: soak overnight, grind slow on stone, and let the batter ferment on its own schedule.
Who we make it for
The batter is exactly the same for both. Only the container changes.
