      I had this idli I think on the way to Coorg or something from a roadside vendor and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Your Idli looks very similar to it and I would love making it .

      This looks like mix between idli and appam. With coconut milk this must be more flavorful and hot hot idli with podi will be soulful treat.
