This is not a restaurant kitchen but a kitchen in a prison run by women inmates

This is the Women’s Prison and Correctional Home at Attakkulangara in Thiruvananthapuram.

And in this prison, the idlis in particular have been in great demand

Only four inmates work in the food unit, which is a small room with minimal facilities.

By 4.30 am, the women get busy in kitchen, from steaming the idlis to preparing different snack items such as banana chips, pickles and stacking the items.

Idlis are sold every day (except Sundays) from a counter near the prison entrance from 6am onwards and it usually gets over by 10am.
