Soft And Spongy Idli  /  Idli Recipe - Idli is a type of savoury rice cake, popular as breakfast food throughout India and North Sri Lanka, the cakes are made by steaming batter consisting of fermented black lentis and rice. Idli is a traditional breakfast made in every South Indian household. Idli is one of the healthiest protein packed breakfast from South Indian cuisine. These are made with lentils known as Dal and rice and are served with a chutney and sambhar. They are easily digestible as they are prepared with a fermented batter.
