    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 711/530=L/1430)

     

    There is no intoxication in idli and dosa. Rice also does not become intoxicant by keeping for one night, likewise formation of alcoholic substance will not make it unlawful if it is not intoxicating. Therefore, it is lawful to eat it, though it causes sleeping. But, if some idli or dosa causes intoxication, it will be regarded haram (unlawful).
