Idli is a traditional South Indian food. It is made by steaming batter made from rice and pulses (specifically black lentils), into two to three inches thick patties using a mold. Most often eaten at breakfast or as a snack, idli are usually served in pairs with chutney, sambar, or other accompaniments. Mixtures of crushed dry spices such as milagai podi are the preferred condiment for idlis eaten on the go. Photo credit: Nick Gray
