Idli is a traditional South Indian savory steamed cake made from a batter of fermented rice and lentils. It is a staple breakfast item in South India and is also popular across the country. The batter is poured into specially designed molds and steamed until it becomes fluffy and soft. Idlis are typically served hot, accompanied by various condiments such as sambar (a lentil-based vegetable stew) and coconut chutney. They are light, nutritious, and easily digestible, making them a wholesome and satisfying meal option.
