Here are 3 easy ways to heat up Idlis:
1. Microwave oven
Here we bring you a microwave technique that can instantly reheat your idli. All you need to do is take a microwave-friendly plate and fill it with leftover idli. Next, get a glass or small bowl filled with water. Place the dish inside the microwave along with the glass. Put the idli in the microwave for 45-50 seconds. Wondering why we put a cup of water inside the microwave? That’s because water helps add moisture to the air, thus keeping the idli from drying out.
2. Steaming cabinet
The other way is quite simple. Take the idli pot/steamer, fill the pot with water. Place an idli tray or a rack inside the autoclave. Put all idli on top of it. Cover the steamer and wait for 2-3. And voila, you got it!
3. Instant Pot
Fill the container with water. Take a stainless steel strainer and place it over the top of the pot. Now add the idli and cover the box with a lid. Wait a few minutes and you’re done!
