I bought a packet of “idli mix” without reading the small print. (I enjoy finding new dishes and love experimenting). Now I have seen what an idli mould is online, I am a bit stuck. Does anyone know how I could cook my idli using what is usually to be found in a British or European kitchen. Thanks.
Thanks JG - do I then steam the idli like eggs. I really would like to try them before I consider buying an idli mould, Hope. I also live in North Wales where we have little access to suitable stores.

You can use that old egg poacher that’s in the back of your cupboard.
Yeah, steam ‘em: I live in SY21 Mid Wales, where they’ve never heard of poached eggs.

That’s tricky. The best thing is to buy an Idli mould. They’re not that expensive if you know where to get one from from. If you reuse it (which I’m sure you will), it will be worth it. I like Idli with coconut chutney or you can buy Idli Sambar which you can dip your Idli’s in and eat. They also taste great eaten the next day, chopped into quarters and fried (like chips).
