Very innovative and healthy idea. BTW Aarthi, is that a muslin cloth on which you have poured the idli batter or some use and throw away stuff; do let me know this, I usually grease the moulds but sometimes idlies stick to it...thanks dear for the lovely share.

@Nisa Homey We don't have a non stick idli stand..So amma uses a traditional idli cooker..The cloth is a clean white cloth which she uses only for idlis..You could use muslin cloth too..it is not use & throw cloth.Using cloth for making idli prevent the idli from sticking to the pan.
