Thatte idli is soft. Relish it with sambar and coconut chutney or aloo sagu or sabzi. Another side dish that fits well with this steam-cooked food is vegetable sagu. By the way, thatte in Kannada means plate. So, another name for this idli is plate idli. It is also known as soft idli. You can use plates / thattes, rather than the idli stand, to steam-cook the idlis. An advantage of using plates for preparing thatte idli is that you can control the quantity of batter to get thin or thick idlis. To make thatte idli with thattes / plates, you need to use the thatte idli stand, which is usually available in a store that sells steel utensils. The thattes / plates are part of such a stand. If you use plates to make the soft idlis, you may want to cut each idli in a plate into four parts. That way, it will be easy to eat this steam-cooked dish. The soft idli recipe has idli rice, urad-whole, sabudana, and aval as the main ingredients. A point to note about how to make soft idli is that it does not require idli rava. Coat the thatte idli with home-made ghee to increase the taste of the food.  Servings: 8-9 Idlis Ingredients:

Idlis In Banana/Jackfruit leaves (Easy Hittu/Khotte/Kadubu)
We had posted the traditional way of making Hittu/khotte or kadubu couple of years ago. Making the baskets for these is a time consuming work and takes some expertise. Any mistake and the idli batter comes out of the baskets and makes a mess. So here are some easy ways of making these delicious hittus.
In Banana leaves :
Usually(atleast at our place), hittu is prepared in jackfruit leaves. But these are hard to find everywhere. Instead, you can use banana leaves which can be found readily in many places. Here is a step by step pictorial of how this is prepared.
In Jackfruit leaves:
The traditional hittu requires 4 leaves. Here is an easy way to make this with only one leaf. Be very careful while steaming these.
Updated: In the above post, hittu is served with Muga Mole Randayi
