Hi we just toured in Mangalore and ate this wonderful idli. Good to see the illustration and nice to know about the fact that it is idli batter, since my son and husband argued that it is a totally different recipe !!!

shilpa, that steamer looks wonderful is it available in bangalore, what is its name(traditional). does it come with a idli stand too. pl reply as one of our friends is going over to bangalore in two days

Shilpa: I don’t know what it is called in Kannada, it is called Pedawan in Konkani. I think it is available in B’lore too. It does not come with any stand.

Dear Shilpa,
Two days back , when my computer had gone for service, i suddenly developed a love for these idlies, with no net, i managed to get a few jackfruit leaves from a neighbour(i hardly find any jackfruit trees in hyderabad) , recollected the pictures and made them, though they were not perfect in shape as yours, they were very tasty with the flavour ofthe leaves on them, i shall try to send those photos to you soon, thanks a lot shilpa.

Hi Shilpa

I am a big fan of your site and have been getting a lot of recipes from here, my family and friends love them. I however had a small question for you. Where do you get jackfruit leaves in the US. If you dont, is there any way to substitute them, with something you get in the US.

Thanks

Shilpa: You may get them in Chinese store, I am not sure. My mom makes them in banana leaves too (I will ask her to post).

Hi Shilpa,
I remember my aunt used to make these and we had a huge jacfruit tree and my job used to be to pick the leaves wash and dry them and make the baskets! Incidentally I grew up in Belgaum. I havent had these in years, but brings back fond memories of my childhood!
