Which is an example of steaming in Indian cuisine?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Making idli
Idli batter is poured into moulds and cooked with steam, so making idli is an example of steaming. Dhokla is also generally steamed, so it is not suitable as a distractor in a single-correct-answer question; frying puri and roasting roti are different methods. Exam tip: in steaming, food is cooked by the heat of water vapour rather than being immersed directly in water.
