thatte idli recipe | tatte idli or plate idli | how to make thatte idli with step-by-step photo and video recipe. in kannanda language thatte means plate and cooking idli on a flat thin plate derives the name for this idli. these idli’s are unique to Kannada cuisine and is mainly prepared with a combination of rice, urad dal, poha or sabudana. it tastes great when served with the combination of coconut sambar and coconut chutney.
even though the recipe is specific to Karnataka, there are several variations to this simple idli recipe. generally in tiffin centres or casual dining in hotels, thatte idli recipe is prepared with leftover steamed rice from the previous day’s lunch or dinner menu. it is basically grounded to smooth paste with urad dal, poha and a pinch of baking soda and later steamed in round-shaped plates. initially, it all started with the idea of using plates in the place of idli stand to produce bigger idli’s and less labour work for those idli stands. eventually, it became a standard and myriad versions started to follow it. today tatte idli or plate idli can be seen prepared with idli rice, sabdudana / poha and also the normal idli batter.
while the recipe for thatte idli is extremely simple, yet some tips, suggestions and serving ideas. firstly, in the recipe post, i have used thatte idli stand which is specifically designed to prepare these idlis. but the same can also be prepared in dhokla stand, idli stand and also steel glass or cups if you do not have these stands. secondly, i have not added baking soda before steaming these idlis but you can a pinch of it just before steaming. lastly, these idli’s tastes great when served with the combination of chutney and sambar. but it equally tastes great with just chutney combinations like tomato chutney, onion chutney and coconut chutney.
