The Idli Project

Explore

Two ways through the archive.

The first chart draws the ingredient web that connects every idli, so the rava family, the millet branch, and the leftover rebuilds settle into clear neighbourhoods. The second sorts every idli by how much time it asks of you, soak through steam.

Ingredient families

Who shares a pantry with whom.

Curves connect idlis that share at least 35% of their base ingredients.
