  1. Hi Mam,

    You are my virtual mom in cooking since 2011.

    In this recipe can we use Sour curd?

    Thanks in advance for your time & advice.

    • Thank you for your kind words. If you use sour curd, the idly will also taste slightly sour. Otherwise there is non harm in using sour curd.
