Actually in Italy they use Arborio rice for this dish.In my place i wont get this rice and even in many places in India i think.The nature of Arborio rice is sticky, big and short in size.So I decided to use regular Idly rice for this dish.I swear really I got good results and I feel so happy with the texture and taste of the dish.
