Idli Preparation

• Boil water in an idli steamer on a high flame.
• Meanwhile, grease your idli plates lightly with coconut oil (for extra taste) or oil/ghee and pour batter half of the Idli plate, stuff the banana pastes and spread idli batter on stuffed paste (as shown in below picture)
• When the water begins to bubble and steamed up, place the idli plate in the steamer and steam for 12-15 minutes on a medium flame 
• Once done switch off the gas stove. Open the lid and wait for 2-3 minutes to cool down. When cooled, the idli must not be wet on top
• Remove the idlis with the help of a spoon and serve banana idli with coconut milk (if you have banana leaf serve on it. banana leaf will give you more taste)
