Idada / Edada is a yummy Gujarati snack that I
had eaten earlier, but never knew the name. In fact, its soo similar to Idli in
texture, but so much thinner and lighter, one could almost call it a marriage
of Idli and Dhokla, and therefore also known as Safed
Dhokla. The north-south divide with culinary adventures ends thus
(hopefully!). I tried this out with Vaishali’s recipe, making slight tweaks with the quantity as
I was trying this out at home for the first time.
Thanks Vaishali, it came out well ( I
dont know if this is the right texture) and we enjoyed it as a guilt free and
wholesome evening snack for kids too as its almost oil free and yummy too. This
goes to Blogging Marathon under Kids Snacks , and am sure this is one oil free
snack that we are gonna enjoy frequently. Check out the fellow
marathoners here.

Kalyani, for the question you had asked about papad curry – yes you may use papads that haven't been deep fried too. As long as you dunk them while the curry is hot they should soak up and become soft!
New recipe for me , bookmarked it

I put sour yogurt and little cream in the mixture while I leave it for fermenting. Before steaming them, I mix eno fruit salt and ginger chilli paste. I like your presentation, I am going to try it out.
