Recipe Notes

  • You can grind bread slices to make bread crumbs.
  • I did not trim the edges of the bread.
  • Adding the seasoning [mustrad ,dal etc] is optional but I strongly recommend it.
  • The batter should not be too runny or too thick.Adjust the quantity of water to get the suitable consistency.
  • Prepare idli as soon as you add the fruit salt. This batter should be used up in batches but do not store in the fridge and use later.
  • The idlis taste best and have the best texture when served as soon as you take them off the idli plates.
