Idli Sambar

Idli (/ɪdliː/) is a traditional breakfast in South Indian households, especially in Tamil Nadu where it is a popular breakfast dish that is consumed in numerous households. Idli is a savoury cake that is popular throughout India and neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka. The cakes are made by steaming a batter consisting of fermented black lentils (de-husked) and rice. The fermentation process breaks down the starches so that they are more readily metabolized by the body.
