After trying so many combinations, my MIL is fixed with this ratio of rice and dal (6:1) to make soft idli and crispy dosa batter using ration rice. So I too follow the same and get good results every time. The biggest problem with ration rice idli is its pale color, sticky in texture with musty smell (We call it as Oora naatham in Tamil). To avoid this & to get white colored idli without any smell, we must wash the rice at least 5 to 6 times before soaking and thrice after soaking. Similarly the quality of ration rice keeps changing.
Based on that we make idli dosa in two ways by changing the ratio of rice and dal. I have given both of them below. You can follow the ratio of 6:1 (rice : urad dal) if you use grinder. If you want to use our Indian mixie for grinding the batter, use 4:1 ratio. I hope this post will help the people who are using ration rice for the first time. By following this recipe, you can make soft idli, crispy dosa, paniyaram, uthappam and appam with the same batter. Ok, lets move on to the recipe below.

Thanks dear.. most expected post...I've been trying lot of proportions as am buying ration rice every month..let me try this and tel u...
Thank you. Hope this will work for you :)
I have a doubt... U mentioned the ratio 6:1... But in ingredients your given ratio is 9:1
Is ration rice is good for health? can we eat daily?
Hi, it's not 9:1 . I have given 3 cups of anyone rice or 1.5 cups each of 2 rice varieties. So its 6:1 only.
Hi, sorry I am not sure about this. We don't consume it everyday.
You can never get white thumba poo pola idly from ration rice
Hi Chitra nice recipe.while washing ration rice put some rock salt and nicely press the rice and wash it removes stickiness and improves colour of the idli.
Thank you so much for your tips Harini. Will try soon :)
