Offering 15 different kinds of idlis, the kiosk is in the form of a state-of-the-art 150 sq ft kitchen. Pranali Kanade, director, Mishtanna Foods and proprietor of Steamy Affair says idlis are easy on stomach and can be had at any time of the day.

"We serve steam idli, fried idli, veg idli, corn idli, kutti idli, pepper idli and dahi idli among the 15 different varieties. The speciality of Steamy Affair is the varaya idli which is served exclusively on Thursdays and Saturdays for people who observe fast," adds Kanade. Another unique type of idli served here is the kadhi idli. Spicy chutneys served along with these sumptuous snacks make the dish even more interesting. All the idlis at Steamy Affair are priced between Rs 12 and 22.

"Steamy Affair is a self-service kiosk but we are making the 'stand up and eat' experience a memorable one for our customers. A major attraction here is an authentic south Indian beverage which is perfect after a plate of idlis," says Amit Gadre, also a director with Mishtanna Foods. "This kiosk is a pilot project for us. We are taking this concept to malls and other places, where people want quick service and quality food," he adds.
