Hi Mami

Did you add tumeric? It looks yellow. Please let me know

Hi, I have not added any turmeric. Since we are frying the rawa in ghee, it used to be slight dull white only. The yellow color in the photo is because i clicked it in night and the light flashed.

hi,

which rawa should we use is it fine rawa or coarse rawa…

Hi, we have to use the upma rawa which is coarse

Wonderful recipe. I found some heart shaped Idli Plates when am searching for my kitchen appliances and found this product http://www.infinityappliances.com/product.php. I tried this recipe with this plates and got great complement from my family.. Kids were enjoyed the shape..

Mami we dnt have to add eno fruit salt as many web sites has included the same and i tried with fruit salt

Archana, we can use eno salt or normal bi-carbonate of soda / baking salt.

without eno fruit salt the idlies are very hard even after soaking half n hour..Eno fruit salt usage is best option.

What is gun powder? Is it chutney powder?

Hi, both of them are same. It’s been called in different names in different places.
