This is a regular recipe in our house for vaikunta ekadasi. We avoid mustard and bengalb gram dhal. Tastes best with mor kulzambu and idli milagaipodi.
Tempting…..:)
Thanks for this recipe. This is for our poonal festival breakfast tomorrow.
Padhu,can I add baking soda or not?
No need to add baking soda. As we are adding whole skinned urad dal for grinding the batter, the idli will be soft and spongy.
hi found your collection interesting. Glad I stopped by.
How long do you steam the idlis when you make it in a shallow dish?
It depends on the heat. Approximately 15-20 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean, the idli is cooked
Dearie, The recipe descriptions are meant for some other indian who has seen the thing, eaten the thing and perhaps has even lived in kanchipuram. The recipe has to be written such that it conveys the procedure to someone who has never seen an idly. A complete recipe tells exactly what was done without assumptions.
What is idli par boiled rice?
It is idli pulungal arisi. That is par boiled rice used for making idlis.
I tried this. It came out awesome
mouth watering recipe
