IDLI Steamer
An idli steamer is a kitchen appliance specifically designed for making idlis, a traditional South Indian dish consisting of steamed rice and urad dal (black gram) batter. The steamer typically consists of stacked stainless steel or aluminum trays with concave molds for pouring the idli batter. The process involves placing the batter into these molds and then stacking the trays in the steamer. The idli steamer uses steam to cook the batter, resulting in soft and spongy idlis. This method of cooking is not only healthier but also preserves the nutritional value of the ingredients. Idli steamers are widely used in South Indian households and restaurants, reflecting the popularity of idlis as a breakfast or snack item in Indian cuisine. The simplicity and efficiency of idli steamers make them an essential tool for those who enjoy preparing this beloved and nutritious dish.
