1. Idlii were hard to make

I tried it once, using a microwave recipe and an egg cooker.

If I could find the right size of circular muffin pan to fit in my bamboo steamer, it would be a lot easier.

3. I bought a muti-tiered idli maker- love it

If you have a good, deep pot..easy; if not, not so much. Watch out for the pre-packaged idli mixes. Most of them have weird oils and preservatives. Now, if only i could get someone to make the sambar....

2. I wish she were my grandma

Mouth-watering food on the Internet should come with a warning!

That is cheap! I wonder how she manages that..
Good for her. She looks like a sweet old lady..


Idlis are a sort of a superfood-low cal and very healthy. I can't stand 'em though . Prefer the greasier dosa
