So are these things essentially your typical pancake containing rice? AnarchyElmo 01:59, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, could anyone tell me how to cook idlis in a pressure cooker? I steam them for about 7 mins without the weight, however I find some of them covered with a layer of water.

Try [1], [2] and [3]. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 09:08, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

This is potentially a very good article, with lesser-known details about history, etymology etc; and references. However, the 'Tips for making good idlis' section needs to be deleted or completely redone. It is very POV, and needs improvement in language (e.g. Idli is a temperamental creature???) Regards, Gajamukhu.

Agreed the Tips should be redone; to begin with, it is actually more a recipe than a set of pointers. I removed the nonsense about "There is only one way to make good idlis - the traditional way". It still needs a lot of work if it belongs there at all. There is some controversy over whether recipes should be included in the article text. Please consult WP:MOS. --Dforest 12:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)


I have some pre-made idli flour mixes around, should I take some photos and upload them? --Xercessthegreat 02:54, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
