Mini Idli Sambar
Mini idli along with sambar and ghee tastes divine. The tip to get perfect sambar idli is to make the idli texture porous so that it absorbs the sambar well and for sambar, though tiffin sambar suits well for mini idli I would recommend using arachuvitta sambar which is thick and flavourful and gives the hotel taste.
Mini Idli cooker / Idli stand
I was also waiting to get a new idli cooker as my old one got spoilt as its been many yrs. I already have a separate mini idli pot which you can see in my pepper idli and podi idli post….but that pot is so tiny it can steam only 8 mini idlis at a time. Last time when we went to Chennai, I bought this idli pot the brand name is Amarjothi(I am telling this detail for few readers who asked me the brand of idli pot I use), this mini idli mould didn’t come as a set I got it separately such that it fixes in my idli stand.
Tips for Mini Idli Sambar
You can check out detailed post of idli batter recipe here. Make sambar piping hot for the idlis to absorb the sambar well. Also make sure while grinding to make rice slightly coarse so that the idlis are poros in texture to absorb sambar well. Make the mini idli sambar only while serving time else it will become soggy. Just assemble and serve it immediately.

Expert Tips
Make sure you grind the idli batter to the correct consitency sot hat your idlis are porous.If the idlis are poros it will absorb sambar well. While grinding grind rice little coarse to get the perfect texture. Sambar should be neither thick nor runny, it should be inbetween. Once you make the plate ready, serve it immediately. You can use tiffin sambar or any lunch sambar for this. But my recommendation is for Arachuvitta Sambar. Add veggies or a combination of veggies so that sambar is flavourful.I used carrots and shallots(small onion) for making this sambar.
