Idlis is a staple breakfast in almost all south Indian Homes. Each region has its own slight variation - - from your regular idlis to Kushboo Idli to Thatte Idlis. A good 30 years of living in South India and just as you think you have sampled the entire plethora of Idlis - there comes another that is subtly different from everything else you have tasted...
'Ramasseri Idli'...... from the village of Ramasseri a few kms off Palaghat district in Kerala. These idlis seem more like steamed version of Mini dosas - So thin and flat are they! Here is a picture of the idli we had for breakfast one of those days.......
Am told that in this part of Kerala, Ramasseri Idli is a regular item during feasts at home and hotels. But of course, we had to drive the extra 10 -15 kms to Ramaserri village and sample the 'original'(cue to roll eyes)
You could read more about Ramasseri Idli and its cooking procedure here
Linking this to AtoZ challenge - I is for Idli. N thus we head off to Palaghat and its interiors for the next few days.....

I love idlis and these do look good. What's the chutney - the red one? And did you tease us by not providing the link you promised?

When one lives or travels in South India, one realises that there are so many types of idlis and ways of serving them. First time I've heard of Ramassery Idli.
ReplyDeletethe pic is very tempting ! never heard of this idli .. thank you for sharing !
ReplyDeleteI also love idlis, especially on weekends :) Never heard of this variety though, in fact I only knew regular idlis, rava idlis and kanchivaram idlis. But these look so tempting :)
