Product Description

Soft, Fluffy Idlis, Made Simple

There's nothing quite like biting into a warm, pillow-soft idli fresh off the stove — and the Embassy Deluxe Idli Stand, 3 Plates (12 Idlis) is built to help you get there every single morning. Whether you're steaming breakfast for two or feeding the whole family before school and office rush hour, this stand turns a humble batter of rice and urad dal into perfectly shaped, evenly steamed idlis, batch after batch.

Made from high-quality stainless steel, this idli stand is designed to last. Unlike cheaper aluminium or plastic stands that can warp, discolour, or hold on to odours over time, stainless steel stays hygienic, rust-resistant, and easy to wipe clean — meal after meal, year after year.

What Makes This Idli Stand Special?

3 Plates, 12 Idlis, One Steaming Session Each of the 3 plates holds 4 cavities, giving you a total of 12 idlis per batch. That's enough for a family breakfast without needing a second or third round on the stove — a real time-saver on busy weekday mornings.

Thoughtfully Sized Cavities With each cavity measuring 7.8 cm in diameter, the idlis come out generously sized and evenly shaped — not too small, not too large — cooking through consistently without a raw or dense centre.

Compact Enough for Everyday Cookers At just 11.9 cm in height and 19.8 cm plate diameter, the stand is sized to fit comfortably inside most standard Indian pressure cookers and idli steamers, so you don't need a specialised, bulky steamer taking up counter space.

Built for Daily Use This isn't a stand you'll need to replace after a few months. The stainless steel construction stands up to daily steaming, frequent washing, and the occasional careless stack in a crowded kitchen cabinet.

How Do You Use an Idli Stand Like This?

Simply grease the cavities lightly with oil or ghee, pour in your fermented idli batter, stack the plates onto the central rod, and place the stand inside your pressure cooker, steamer, or Instant Pot with a little water at the base. Steam for about 10–12 minutes (timing may vary by cooker and batter consistency), let it rest for a couple of minutes, and gently scoop out soft, fluffy idlis with a spoon.

Q: Will this idli stand fit my pressure cooker? A: With a plate diameter of 19.8 cm and a height of 11.9 cm, it's sized to fit most standard Indian pressure cookers and steamers. We'd still recommend checking your cooker's inner diameter before purchase if you're unsure.
