About Ramasseri Idaly

Ms. Bhagyalakshmi says it is not a profitable venture as one idli fetches hardly Rs.4. “We make them twice a day, depending on demand. On some occasions, we get bulk orders from hotels, weddings, and other functions. On such occasions, I employ extra labour but prepare the idlis myself,” she says. “I learnt how to prepare the idli from my mother-in-law, but now I have become an authority on it,” she says.

Located close to Palakkad-Coimbatore highway, her shop gets occasional visitors from outside, who come after reading about the famous idli. The idlis are still prepared in traditional stone vessels using tamarind wood for fire.

Jeevanantham, who runs the other shop in the village, also believes the idli tradition will not withstand the challenges of time.
