My friend visited us after attending Grahapravesham at his village. He said that they were served idlis made in thin plastic cups to get that innovative(!) shape. OMG😱😱
Our humble idli has been taking varieties of avatars in the past one decade..Khusbhu idli, Masala idli, vegetable idli, fried idli,...and now this plastic idli..but why?
If we ask our mothers, they made idlis in brass moulds, slowly we moved to aluminium and stainless steel..but plastic??
In the name of being creative, are we digging our own graves. We have been told not to carry hot food in plastic covers, as it is hazardous to health. Just imagine what could happen if it's steamed in plastic cups. Scary right?
Dear chefs who cook for functions or restaurants..Pls Pls say no to plastic in any form, for cooking.
We are quite happy and in fact relish the original, cute, soft, round idli..
