I am a big fan of "Idli" the traditional South Indian Breakfast/Last/dinner, whenever you want food. Here are some details on IDLIS.
For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, these are also known as "Steamed rice cakes". You can see them in the menu of most Indian Restaurants.
Wondering how to make idlis ? Checkout the tons of recipes here.
The dough making and the steaming process are a little difficult. You can avoid making the dough by buying it from Indian Grocery Stores. But, what about steaming? You'll need a special vessel to do it.

But..Wait!..don't panic. Look at this picture.!
Yes, This is a Microwavable Idli maker. Looks like you have to just pour the dough in the slots, close it, microwave it and wait for a few minutes for those Yummy Hot idlis. Cleaning should be easy too, just drop it in the dishwasher. Wondering if anyone of you has already used it?
I saw this IDLI maker while I went out to VIK's for Lunch. Sells for 9.99$ here.
Check it out.!!

I am waiting for someone to tell me whether it is useful??
I brought the Idly Pressure Cooker last time I went to Madras. But hardly ever used it.
Right next to my apt. is a desi shop that sells Dosa and Idly Batter. So I make dosas whenever I feel like eating them.
I have a microwave idli pan at home. It is pretty useful. Only drawback is that the idlis become a bit dry at the top.
Idlyaa....is that the one which is white in color n round in shape...Marandhu pochungga..Namma NY pulliyar kovil la oru thadavai saapitu irukken..Hmm..
Me,
Same here...Looks like Adeyangappa has a different version.
Twin-gemini - In the Bay Area we have a brand called 'Shasta' Its awesome!
PVS - Your comment is the bench mark for us, about Microwave idlis so far.
Adaeyengappa - I think this is all for you.! Why not check it out my friend.?
I should try that sometime. Seems a nifty little thing to have.
By the way, I tried sending the invite to you and the email bounced back.Any other id I can use ?
Blogrolled u. Hope its fine.
hi Jaganlee, these microwave idlies are soft. Only problem is the surface dries quickly. I had got this pan when I had been to India last time. Cost was Rs.250 and can make 8 idlis at a time. Time taken is 6 mins.
aiyoh.. ellarum ipdi idli fans aa irukaangale..
i am a big time idli hater.. if interested, rea this.
Looks live everyone enjoys Idli's other than our friend Chakra.
By the way, folks, I am sorry about the email error. Not sure why Yahoo did that.
I'll modify the settings today.
