Notes

You can make Idli batter in advance, but add Eno or fruit salt only when you are ready to steam them.
If you want to make rice idli without Eno, do not add onion and carrot in the batter. Just allow this batter to ferment naturally. That will take 6-18 hours depending upon weather conditions. After batter ferments, you can add vegetables of your choice or use the idli batter as it is

If you are using any other microwave,

After placing batter in the microwave safe  idli steamer Set timer for 5 minutes on medium power.
After the beep take it out and serve hot.
(Cooking time in final step may vary as per exact medium power of your microwave, adjust for particular main ingredients used as per your microwave manual)
