Anand Mahindra reacts to video of men making idli at scale | Trending

Idli is a famous South Indian cuisine that is enjoyed people worldwide. Though it is a popular breakfast item in many households, it is delicious any time of the day. The soft, fluffy textured idlis are often served with sambhar and chutneys. While idlis can be made in small batches at home, some restaurants and food joints use specialized equipment to produce large quantities quickly and efficiently. Now, a video that captures idlis being prepared in large portions at a food joint was shared Anand Mahindra on Twitter.

“On the one hand you have ‘Idli-Amma’ who makes her Idlis laboriously & slowly. On the other hand, you have some tools of mass-manufacturing used to make Idlis at scale! But don’t miss the human touch that will ALWAYS be Indian: the short break taken to share some ‘idli-love’ with the bovine member of the family!” wrote Anand Mahindra while sharing the video on Twitter.
The video captures a man oiling idli trays with the help of a spray. Next, he pours the batter and places the trays in large steamers. As the video goes on, two men are seen demolding the idlis. The video also captures the making of coconut chutney and sambhar.
