Hi Sharmi,
I am allergic to dairy. Would water also work or is buttermilk mandatory?
Thanks
buttermilk or curd is a must
I am sure you can make it with other types of curd, like soy-yogurt or coconut-yogurt. I will give it a try.
you may try with water and lemon juice for the sourness it is required for the batter to react with the soda and the idli will come out fluffy. I have done that for dhokla with the ame flour as my husband is off curd
