I love idilis and like to eat when ever I am hungry . Long time back people used to use mortar and pestle to grind idilis ,it was a tough job. After the invention of grinders it is very easy to make idli batter. As this recipe was limited to south india , after the grinders it has become one of the most popular recipe in whole of India.
