Mean while be ready with your shavige presser greased well.

When idli is done, don't remove idli cooker from the stove let it stay there only,but make flame to sim. (See notes)

Keep one plate under the shavige maker & put one or two idlies to the cotainer & start pressing,when
u r pressing turn the plate simultaneously because it should not be lumps,
then put the ready shavige into another broad plate & sprinkle some oil so that it doesn't stick to each other.same thing do with other idlies also . Live it for cool.

Prepare tempering given under tempering & take smoothly & softly & mix the shavige otherwise it breaks,( thread)

Then add lemon juice,garnish with grated coconut & coriander  leaves.  & enjoy








Notes;
You can soak in morning & prepare for lunch or dinner also

If you remove idlies out and try to make shavige idli becomes cool & you cannot press it ie will be very hard to press.

Pea nuts are option

You can completely make batter using curd or butter milk

You can also make sweet version also.

In my home every one likes spicy version so i make this.

Salt adding to batter is optional
