SPOT IDLY

Image
                                             SPOT IDLY The fact that ground and fermented rice and optionally lentil flour is steamed to make soft airy idlis is well known. But there are places in hyderabad like govind ki bandi that are known for something called spot idli. It is made from idli batter or a non fermented instant idli batter. The difference is it is not steamed in idli trays but cooked on a griddle on top of a mixture of masala variant with a lid on top.
