ReplyDeletePurnima...I think Sanna is a Manglore/ Goan dish....not sure about it....but this is very tasty one....ya some similarity with vatta appams not with vellappams!!!
this is new to me... and they look so soft ...
ReplyDeleteThe idlies appear to be fluffy and soft in texture different from the usual ones we make.It is believed that the quality of urad dal and the method of grinding and fermenting the batter influences this and hence only stone grinders are recommended for preparing the batter
ReplyDeleteCan we replace stone grinder and try blender/mixie for making the batter as you have incorporated yeast in your preperation

Baskarn: Thank you for visiting my blog:)....yes you can use blender/mixie for making the batter....keep in mind not to add too much water...the batter should be of Idli batter consistency....
