Answer 1

I think you are wasting your time.
Idli is a preparation which can be made only with some fermentation aided by either overnight stand-in or yeast/soda etc.Even quick fix idlis like Rava idli, can be made with curd only.
Either sourness or fermantation is a must for getting fluffy idlis.
You can make 'flat' idlis without either of this by steaming fresh batter.
Better you can make soft dosas(thick) on a tawa.

Answer 2

cups Rice
1 cup Urad Daal (white)
1 1/2 tblsp Salt
A pinch of Baking Soda
Oil for greasing



How to make idli sambhar:


Pick, wash and soak the daal overnight or for 8 hours.
Pick, wash and drain the rice. Grind it coarsely in a blender.
Grind the daal into a smooth and forthy paste.
Now mix the grinded rice and daal together into a batter.
Mix salt and set aside in a warm place for 8-9 hours or overnight for fermenting.
Idlis are ready to be cooked when the batter is well fermented.
Grease the idle holder or pan well and fill each of thm with 3/4th full of batter.
Steam cook idlis on medium flame for about 10 minutes or until done.
Use a butter knife to remove the idlis.
Serve them with sambhar or chutney.
