Whenever I go to Chennai I will get a big bunch of Thonnai
(Cups made out of dried leaves). I use them for steaming idly’s, paruppu usli
etc. They give a nice flavor to the dish. One such dish I make is the thonnai
idli .
Temper you regular idli batter with ghee, gingelly oil,
mustard, pepper, cumin seeds, cashew’s, Bengal gram & urad dhal, curry
leaves. Ferment it overnight , pour them in your thonnai to steam for 15
minutes and finally tie them as a packet for a minimum of 30 minutes to get this flavorful
thonnai idli.
