Soak the Urad Dal and Idly Rice separately for about 3-4 hours.Grind the urad dal very nicely.Grind rice and fenugreek seeds together.Mix everything after grinding and add salt as per your taste.The batter should be little thick and not too much watery.Keep the batter aside for 8 hours to ferment.
Grease the idli moulds with oil.Put the batter on each mould ( as shown in the picture) and allow it to boil in a cooker for around 20 minutes.Hot and soft idlies are ready for serving.
