Hello All, This is Krishnan Mahadevan, the owner of Iyer Idly - the restaurant featured in this video. Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for your comments and support. Means so much to us and our family :') Just wanted to clarify a point on the language being spoken in the video. I'm a pure Bangalorean. Been here all my life. My family of the last 3 generations have lived here and supported the land. Me, as a pure bred Bangalorean consider Kannada as my first language. I respect the language, the land and the people that have supported us and helped us survive. I'm proficient (both reading and writing and conversational) with Kannada. It's just that my mother isn't fluent enough like me (she knows the language) and since it was from the international media, we didn't want any issues with grammatical errors on screen. Hence she had to converse in the language she was comfortable, Tamil. She speaks Kannada otherwise and considers this as her homeland. Thank you all once again for your support :) ಜೈ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ 💛❤️

I loved how the aunty said "Chutney making is not a big secret, it's the same all over". No mam! A good chutney makes all the difference. Yet, she doesn't really care if someone else tries to make it too. I think that differentiates the mindset of big businesses and home chefs.

I've been living in Vignananagar for quite long and been visiting this place quite often to get idlis for our family since the early 2000 when Krishnan dad along with his mother looking after this place... Krishnan a school going kid then, My elder son Harsha Aiyappa and Krishnan are good friends and of almost the same age... Krishnan has become an entrepreneur after his dad's demise whereas my son started working in an American company in a good position... Circumstances in life makes one to take extreme steps to handle things better, and Krishnan is an example even though he runs just this place... Almost everyday I keep seeing him serving idlis to customers who queue up for idlis along with his staff, some going back empty handed late in the evening as limited stock of idlis getting over soon enough... He's a good example for many youngsters, who's quite contented and successful with his business of selling quality idlis to masses. Wishing him all the best.

Going to get out the book of dosas I bought in Fort Cochin 7 years ago and make some idli. This video brought back many recipes of the delicious South Indian food we ate while we were there😋

Looking this video got tears in my eyes as idli is my favorite thing to have and today it's been a month that I moved to north India, a place where everyday I crave for idli.. hope I come back to Bangalore sooner and taste hotel made Idlis.. soft and spongy and hot..

This did put smile on my face. Can't wait to visit this when I go to Banglore next.

excellent keep it going Iyer Idly wish you and your family a happy new year 2022 from germany

More success to you brother. Truely inspiring . On my list for my next visit to Bangalore

I worked in India. Props to someone that goes after their dreams.

Juz love his attitude….shows his upbringing is grt….hats off to his old mother n him….God bless n hope you reach Guinness books for best idlis ❤️👍🏻

VERY VERY INSPIRATIONAL ,ON THE DOT,SIMPLE BUT EFECTIVE

This was very interesting. I disagree with the observation around it being a risky n move for him. His father took a risk. He took something that he knew would make money and was something that he enjoyed doing and focused on that. If he has healthy margins and has a wide customer base that buys from him regularly then it's a surefire thing. If he maintains or improves his quality then he should be fine for the rest of his life. Compete on quality. Price is a losing proposition unless you have scale.

Might seem so, but as a person before me already mentioned, it's pretty rare in India for someone to come out of the corporate bubble for something like a family owned restaurant. When the dude says it's a risk he means it regarding both social status and finance; there are lot of idli shops in Bangalore for the same price and he's gotta manage the restaurant well to keep it going with the same momentum.

In the corporate world, Krishnan would have never seen a real happy and smiling customer but in the Idly shop, I bet he sees 100s of smiling and happy customers and some of them even taking selfies. That says a lot. MY one suggestion would be to include molagai podi and gingelly oil.

Wow! What a heartwarming story from the city of my youth (1970-1998). I hope to drop in on Iyer Idly, my next trip there. All the best to this family run business.

Just simply awesome dear brother. Keep up the good work. May God bless you as always dear.
