How to Make Soft, Fluffy Idlis in an Instant Pot 🥥✨
FYI: This is not sponsored.
We don’t own a traditional idli steamer or pressure cooker, so we’ve been using our Instant Pot to steam idlis for years—and they come out perfect every single time!
The glass steaming lid allows excess steam to escape, and the idli stand fits perfectly inside the Instant Pot, making the whole process super easy.
Here’s how we do it:
✔️ Add 2–2.5 cups of water to the steel insert.
✔️ Press the Steam button and wait until you see steam starting to come out.
✔️ Carefully place the filled idli stand inside the Instant Pot.
✔️ Steam for about 7–10 minutes, depending on the size of your idlis.
✔️ Open the lid, remove the idli stand, and let it cool for a few minutes.
✔️ Gently remove the idlis and enjoy them hot with chutney and sambar!
If you have any questions, drop them in the comments below—I’m happy to help. 😊
