Grease a 175 mm. (7") diameter thali using a little oil.
Combine the idli batter, salt, asafoetida, ginger-green chilli paste, curds and rice flour in a bowl and mix well.

Just before steaming, sprinkle the fruit salt and add 2 tsp of water over the batter.
When the bubbles form, mix gently.
Divide the batter into 2 equal portions.
Pour one portion of the batter immediately into the greased thali and shake the thali clockwise to spread it evenly to make an even layer.
