Chef's Notes
Treat your idlis with respect! Stale or slightly refrigerated idlis hold their shape much better in the batter than ultra-fresh, warm ones.
Pro Tip
Do not crowd the frying pan, or your oil temperature will drop and the idlis will turn into a greasy sponge rather than a crispy delight.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If your batter is too runny, it will slide right off the idlis, leaving you with naked steamed cakes floating in oil while your pan burns!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the Idli cross the road? To escape the Manchurian sauce bath, only to realize it was actually a promotion to a higher culinary class.
The Culinary Science
Coating the idli in starch creates a barrier that gelatinizes in hot oil, trapping moisture inside while delivering a glorious outer crunch.
