Idli is a popular South Indian dish made from fermented rice and lentil batter. It is steamed to perfection, resulting in soft and fluffy round cakes. Served with sambar, a flavorful lentil soup, and chutney, usually coconut or tomato-based, it makes for a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. The combination of idli, sambar, and chutney offers a balance of flavors and textures, with the idli acting as a neutral base to soak up the aromatic sambar and complement the tangy chutney.
