  1. Being in Bengaluru has required 100% of my attention, so I couldn’t even post. Today is the last day, last idli breakfast. Every day I have been ordering filter coffee along with my breakfast. Today the waiter didn’t ask for my order after coming by with water (a default) and I was disappointed that I’d have to wait until I could flag him down again.

    A few minutes later he came by, “Here’s your filter coffee ma’am”

  2. A breakfast I’ve been daydreaming about. OK actually I ate two breakfasts worth of breakfast. In my defense, my stomach is at dinner time while it’s breakfast time in IST. #food #south_indian_cuisine #idli

  3. Maybe not best but surely amongst the topmost satisfying purchases from Costco yet - $8 dosa/idli batter (NJ provenance, zero unnecessary ingredients listed). Used half the 4 lb tub for brunch for steamed #Idli - and partner made some quick coconut chutney for it, and we had various milagai podi ("gunpowder") from India. Aaah! The idlis turned out fantastic!

  4. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, known for his literary flair, once again showcased his command over the English language—this time in defence of a humble South Indian staple: the idli. english.mathrubhumi.com/lifest #ShashiTharoor #Congress #Idli #LatestNews

  5. For #lunch today, I tried making something shakshouka inspired - with my homemade #idli/ #dosai batter! Lucky for me that it turned out so well! :D 🍜

  6. It’s still not as good as the perfect idli I had in Bengaluru. I doubt I’ll ever get it that good. But I can slowly make this very good, just like I slwoly learned to make other precise foods. #cooking #food #idli

  7. The thing I think I cracked this time is cooking time and amount to put in the mold. In the instant pot, I need to warm the water on the sautee setting, then put in the stands, then set to pressure cook for 1 minute and separately set a timer for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes are up, at which point the 1 minute steam will be done, manual release the steam. Then wait a moment to take them out of the molds. #cooking #food #idli

  8. My best homemade idli so far this morning! The batter was fermented yesterday and was in the fridge. I think it keeps fermenring in the fridge, just slowly so if anything the batter was fluffier.

  9. It took less than a week since the last batch and now I crave idli again. So, this evening the urad dal goes on to soak. Tomorrow is a work from home day so I can prep and put on the batter to ferment in breaks. #cooking #food #idli

  10. I turned this thread about idli into a blog post with a bit more context and some new photos.

  14. Also: we had dinner at Pongal tonight—which has been a favorite for, what is it now, 27 years?—and it’s still great! They just moved across the street 2 weeks ago.

    Now cometh the hashtags: #CurryHill #idli #MeduVada #uttapam #dosa #MysoreMasala

    (P.S. the east 20s is such a great neighborhood.)

  19. Just saying - The best kind of days are idli days 🤷‍♀️
    With Chicago being so gray for the last few days, cooking delicious Indian meals is a way to spice it up and also let your creative juices flow!!

  20. CW: Idlies

    Though I make decent Dosais, I suck badly at making idlies. (In our house there is no Idli cooker, we steam Idlis in old style vessel). It doesn't help that my mom and wife are expert Idli makers. Today was the rare day I got it right. So recording it for posterity. #Idli #இட்லி
