Add the tempering to the roasted sooji, add curd, cashews and mix. Leave it aside for 5 mins.

Sooji/ semolina will absorb all the moisture. Now just need to add salt and enough water to adjust the consistency of the batter. It should be semi thick but not watery.

Serve hot with coconut chutney.
Use a bit sour curd for a tangy tasting idli.
