Idada / Edada is a yummy Gujarati snack that I
had eaten earlier, but never knew the name. In fact, its soo similar to Idli in
texture, but so much thinner and lighter, one could almost call it a marriage
of Idli and Dhokla, and therefore also known as Safed
Dhokla. The north-south divide with culinary adventures ends thus
(hopefully!). I tried this out with Vaishali's recipe, making slight tweaks with the quantity as
I was trying this out at home for the first time.

Thanks Vaishali, it came out well ( I
dont know if this is the right texture) and we enjoyed it as a guilt free and
wholesome evening snack for kids too as its almost oil free and yummy too. This
goes to Blogging Marathon under Kids Snacks , and am sure this is one oil free
snack that we are gonna enjoy frequently. Check out the fellow
marathoners here.
