Some have suggested that this may be a fantastic on-the-go snack or that it could reduce the amount of water or labour required to wash spoons and dishes. Others pointed out that Idli Sambar is a meal in which you soak the soft round Idlis in the acidic Sambhar and mash them with your hands to taste the original flavours, and this strange rendition is unacceptable.

While we complain about the shape and the way we eat it, we must always know that this methodology saves some water by not having to wash our hands which we usually do after eating idly.

I don't knw why so much hate on food,I found this very interesting infact it'll reduce cost to wash spoons and the man power,on top of that you would have it by your hands also it doesn't cause you anymore.. all this to understand just need a creative mind and willing fr change.

Dips!! Noo. Pouring sambar on top of idli and mashing it, sliding them on chutney and having with bare hands is divine 😇.. We would mash the idli like dialogue frm a tamil mov Soodhu kavvum "இத இட்லினு சொன்னா சட்னி கூட நம்பாது" 🍛

Sir, our ‘street food chefs’ using their creativity have already damaged the original masala dosa enough by adding what nots. I never thought the simplistic idli can be changed. This is hideous. South Indian food is to be had with hands, no cutlery. Five senses for food!!

Certain things need to stay the same. It’s not Idli. That thing is cooked idli batter on a stick! For us Indians, food is an emotion too. We see, smell, touch and then feel food and we use our hand to eat food to complete the experience.
It’s a BIG NO!
