Method
Mix the ready idli dosa batter gently in a bowl. Check that it is thick but pours easily.
Grease the idli plates lightly with oil. Pour the batter into each mould until it is three-fourths full.
Boil the water in an idli steamer or pressure cooker on high flame for 4 to 5 minutes until it bubbles steadily. Keep the water below the lowest idli plate. Place the plates inside, cover, and steam on medium flame for 10 to 12 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Switch off the flame and rest the idlis for 3 minutes. Remove them with a wet spoon and serve hot.
