Steamed Idli/South Indian Rice Cake Recipe

A perfect, healthy and versatile South Indian breakfast, which is now famous across Indian homes. Hot, soft and spongy idli’s along with sambhar or Coconut-Coriander Chutney/Dip Recipe is one the most loved and frequent breakfast at my home. You require very few ingredients to make these idli. First and foremost ingredient is fermented idli-dosa batter. Now a days ready-made batter is easily available in the grocery stores.
