The batter is made by soaking and grinding rice and urad dal, then leaving it to ferment. During this time, natural bacteria grow and produce gases, which make the batter soft and fluffy. This is fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But after that, the batter is steamed at a high temperature. The heat kills most of the microbes that helped in fermentation. So while idlis are made using fermentation, it does not contain live bacteria when you eat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of this, idlis are often misunderstood.<strong><br><\/strong><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cProbiotic\u201d has become a popular label on food products.
