Ramasseri
Idli is a unique delicacy from Ramasseri, a village near Elappally in Palakkad
district.
“These
are steam cooked in unglazed clay pots leaving an earthy aroma. They are larger in size, flatter in
shape. Parboiled rice is used and the
idlis are laid on cloth in three tiers”, said Indira who had undergone special
training for this from the traditional cooks.
“Visitors
enjoy seeing the preparation and taste them with Molaka podi mixed with coconut
oil”, she added.
