Dear Sonu, I found out from my aunt.
She told me to ask you to try adding milk,
instead of the curds. The batter should be like
iddli batter. Do not soak for long.
Well you have tasted the rava idli from a hotel.
So you should know the texture
Thanks, Kugan98

Ah! as for the fried modaks,
it seems my aunt says that the outer skin
is made from either maida or all purpose flour.
Its like our curry puffs
I prefer our rice steamed flour.
