Idli, one of the South Indian dishes, is extremely popular for its taste. It is eaten with great gusto throughout India, and is easily available in every restaurant. While many people prefer to make it at home with semolina, real idli is made with urad dal and rice. Freshly made idli tastes amazing, but sometimes when idli is left out and kept in the fridge, it becomes hard when reheated. Don’t worry! We will tell you some easy methods by which your idli will become fresh and soft again.
Ways to Reheat Idli
Method One: Use a Steamer
Steamer is the best option for reheating idlis. For this, add some water in the steamer and place the idlis on the idli tray. Cover the steamer and leave it for some time. This will not only heat the idli but will also provide moisture to it.
Method two: heat in the microwave
If you have a microwave, this is the fastest method. Place remaining idlis in a microwave-friendly vessel. Then fill a glass glass with water and place it in the microwave. If there is no space to keep a glass, you can also sprinkle some water on the idli. With this method the idli will be heated quickly and effectively.
Method 3: Use a non-stick pan
A non-stick pan can also be used to heat the idlis. Heat the pan, then place the idlis in it. Add one spoon water in the pan and keep the idli covered for 1 to 2 minutes. This will not only heat the idli but will also add moisture to it, keeping it soft.
By using these methods you can make your leftover idli fresh and soft again.
