For making plain idlis: 1)Soak black gram and rice in water and keep it overnight.

Wait for it to cool. Scoop out with the help of a knife.
For making curd idlis: 1)Beat curd adding a cup of water and salt to it. If preferred, you can add 1/2 tsp of sugar too.
Grate carrots and chop coriander leaves.

Pour this seasoning onto the curds.
Keep half the curd mixture aside.
