Sweet Idly / Vellam Idly





Vellam Idly:

Sweetened Idlies. Sweet Idly.

I happen to taste this idly…..when I was a little kid….at my aunt’s house. She prepared this with leftover batter….to go with her picknick menu. Besides puliyodarai, lemon rice, toamto and curd rice…..this was a big hit that day! I think its a clever idea….to make kids eat! Hope…this recipe might help some mothers out there!

Ingredients:

Idly batter 1 cup
Jaggery 1/4 cup grated
Cardamom pods 3-6 crushed
Coconut grated 6-8 spoons
Salt pinch
Soda 1 pinch
Pacha Karpooram 1 pinch(raw camphor)
Ghee few spoons
Cahewnuts chopped coarsely (optional)

Method:

Mix all the above said ingredients to the batter(except ghee).

Now smear ghee to the idly laddles. Fill up the laddles carefully with limited batter.

Steam these idlies for about 10-12 minutes over medium flame/heat.

Serve warm as evenning snack.
