First, a street-side vendor places a damp cloth on top of an idli tray. Then, he adds a bit of idli batter onto it and layers it with tandoori sauce, chopped onions, tomatoes, capsicum, corn, more tandoori sauce, white sauce, and another layer of idli batter. The tray is then placed in an oven for 7-8 minutes. Once the idli is cooked through, it is removed from the oven and served on a paper plate. The caption read, “Stuffed idli in Nagpur.”
