Thonnai Idli Recipe (Dried Leaves Idli)

Thonnai Idli Recipe (Dried Leaves Idli) Try this Thonnai (dried leaves) idli with your regular idli batter. They give a nice flavour to your recipe. Temper your regular idly batter with ghee, gingelly oil, mustard, pepper, cumin seeds, cashews, bengal gram, urad dhal and curry leaves. Ferment it overnight, pour them in your thonnai to steam for 15 minutes and finally tie them for a minimum of 30 minutes to get this flavourful thonnai idli. I just use my regular idly proportions and temper them with spices which are almost similar to Kachipuram idli. This is quite easy when we pack it in our lunch box or even during your travel. The smell and softness is naturally preserved.
