When you insert tooth pick it comes out clean without batter that shows the idlis are cooked.

When the idlis are done, sprinkle little water and remove the idli tray from the idli cooker and let it sit for about 5 minutes to cool down.

Use only gingelly oil for greasing the idli plates, this gives added taste and flavour.
