That makes sense. If you need picture of another type of Idiyappam maker (This one is a different type with a different process for Idiyappam), give me a shout. I’ll send you a picture.

Hi Indira & Lera,
The coconut scraper is the coolest kitchen gadget I’ve seen in a while. If we had more fresh coconuts, I’d most certainly look out for one - your weekly glimpse into Indian kitchens is a great idea!

Indira says…
Hello Oliver, what a surprise to see one of my favorite blogger here.
Yes, coconut scraper is really great to grate the fresh coconut.
Because, I couldn’t figure out how to organise the photos, I just put a hold on my dream project - creating an online Indian glossary in images.

Indira, Are you worried that these pictures are eating away the memory space available? If that is the problem, then I might have a solution for that. I don’t upload any of the images into blogger. I created an account in photobucket.com and uploaded my images. There’s an url for every image you upload.
When you include the following code
, the images are displayed in your blog.
Let me know if you need more details.

Hi Kay, I am little bit worrried about it but my main problem is how to organise all these photos on my website. If I continue with this project, I am sure that I am going to receive atleast hundreds of images every week. . Instead of asking everyone, I am thinking of doing this project - creating an online Indian glossary in images, on my own so that the images will be more uniform in shape, size and appearance. I am still figuring it out.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Anne..Indian appliance shops in big cities of US carry this coconut scrapper. Or South India.

FL.. Send it anyway. I will add your picture to this post. But I want a name and where are you from or your website along with the picture. Thanks.

Hi Indira,
Are you still accepting pictures of the tools? If you are, can I send you one?

so… where can I buy a coconut scraper? I own one now (I lived in Sri Lanka for 3 years… got it there) - but I am worried about the time when the one I have no longer works.

Ideas?

Hey Indira- I had visitors yesterday and hence did could not post. My Indian tool is up at http://greenjackfruit.blogspot.com/2005/11/tongs-from-indian-kitchen.html

My other two ideas of coconut scraper and idli vessels are already taken, I see.

i remember my grandmother making idlies for us, that was a very big idli patharam ( idli cooker ) and they use a piece of wet white cloth on each idli plate and then pour the batter on those moulds. I still wonder why they do that. gr8 pics shammi . And all these are found in every south indian kitchen .
