tips for idlis in coconut sauce

 

    1. Make the palak idlis first and then the coconut sauce. The reason is that the coconut sauce can dry up.
    2. Serve the idlis in coconut sauce immediately once the coconut sauce is made. So if you want you can make the palak idlis in advance and do the coconut sauce at the end.
