उत्तर
Using microbes in the fermentation process allows you to produce various foods. Some major traditional recipes made with wheat, rice, and Bengal gram or black gram (vernacular urad) are as follows:
- Bread: Saccharomyces cerevisiae ferments wheat into this product.
- Dosa, upma and idli: They are fermented versions of rice and black gram (urad). The two are left to ferment for 3-12 hours with Leuconostoc and Streptococcus bacteria.
