As they say, Idli is a word. Podi Idli is an emotion. This was my school lunch box favorite when I was young and it is becoming one of the staple snack for my son in school. He just loves it. Mini idlies coated in a rich podi or lentil masala. Who doesn’t love it? Its so comforting. It travels well too. I know many families who wont travel without packing podi idlies for a long travel. Its quick and can be made in minutes.

Here is the Recipe for Idli
Here is the Recipe for Idli Podi

There are two kinds of people in this world. People who prefer ghee for their podi and people who prefer sesame oil (nallennai). I like them both. My favorite has got to be the idlies coated in sesame oil. Its so nutty and aromatic. Podi idli is all you need to save yourself from this world.

Here is a little video of how to coat idlies in podi. Hope you like it.

    Dear Suguna,

    I just starting reading your recipes and am beginning to enjoy them as i try each of them . The simplicity of the recipe is really nice. However have a small suggestion for the website. When i need to get to a certain recipe, the search option is a little circuitous. i have to search by category and sometimes need to search a couple or more categories before i can hit the recipe i am looking for.
    Sometimes we end up searching for a recipe to make soemthing speclal on a guest day and time is premium on such occasions. Hence thought it would be a good idea to also have a generic search which will return matching results – perhaps a few of themout of which i can hit the one i am looking for. If its too much of a hassle , you may ignore my suggestion. but thought this will certianly make the search option easier..Thanks for all the wonderful recipes. God bless you !

      Thanks for the suggestion Asha. There is a generic search button on the top of the site. have you tried it? The box reads “google custom search”. You can use that to search any recipe from Kannamma cooks. Thank you!
