She pours the batter into an idli steamer and places almonds as ‘heads’ and sunflower seeds as the limbs and tails of the turtles. For eyes, she used black mustard seeds. Once the Turtle Idlis came out of the steamer, she sliced the almonds in a way that resembled tiny turtles opening their mouths. Next, Rohini placed small pieces of Ajwain leaves in them where it looked like the turtles were feeding on greens. She paired the Turtle Idlis with podi (dry spice mix) made by her father.
