Hi should I keep the lid closed inside the oven? Or partly closed?

Hi, Even my sister's oven has no lights. So you can try keeping inside the oven. It will take 15 hrs minimum to ferment. Also if you have leftover old idli batter, just add a ladleful of it to the new batter. It will help to ferment quickly.

I leave in Toronto, Canada and currently temperature outside is 9 degree. I have soaked 3 cups of basmati rice(since i do not have idli rava/parboiled rice handy) and 1 cup of urad daal with 1 tsp of fenugreek seeds in morning arround 8:30 AM. I will now grind the ingrediants as instructed in the post above after 8 hours and than give a good hand mix to the batter as instructed. I will keep the batter for fermantation in pre heated oven. However, my oven light isnt working. Will my batter still farmant well with no light on? Any special tip for me since i am at the initial step yet? Please advice

Thava, add little more water next time while grinding the batter. This problem won't happen.
