Hi Shilpa,

My mom- Kavita is a regular visitor of your blog and she is the one who suggested me the same. Since then I have been a silent visitor of your blog and really appreciate your recipes.

I wanted a quick,yummy and different kind of a snack to be prepared, n my mom suggested Vermicili Idli from your blog. I must say, i tried it out and it has come out really good. We just loved it. Thanks for sharing such an easy recipe and keep going!

i made this vermicilli idli today…tasted wonderful….it was soft,but firm(not hard).I mean it wasn’t as fluffy as the plain idlis. Are they supposed to be like that only or i kept it for more than 30 minutes and added about 3/4 cup curds and later about 1/2 cup..is that the reason?

Shilpa: Yes they are not as fluffy as normal idlis. They are supposed to be soft and firm. Add a little cooking soda if you feel they are too hard. More curd should not cause any problem.

I loved the recipe when I tried it and put it on my website too at http://tryoutcook.blogspot.com I hope you dont mind. I did credit your name and provided a link to your site. Please let me know if you have any objections with it.

Shilpa: TC, its okay if you have posted this recipe on your blog. But usually it is always good to write in your own words and copy and paste. Btw…I saw your post and wheat sooji means the sooji used for making upma.

DEAr SHILPA,

my mom 2 used 2 make these idlis.i hv a suggestion 2 mk it evn fluffier & lighter.instead of bakin soda,add 1 satchet ENO {regular} jst b4 steaming & c the difference.mix the eno well in2 the batter

put batter till it reaches 1/2 the idli cup.it swells it it reaches the rim.
