About Idlis
Idlis are soft, steamed cakes made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (black gram lentils). Originating from South India, idlis are a staple of Indian cuisine and are enjoyed as a breakfast dish, snack, or meal. They are naturally gluten-free, low in calories, and rich in nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, and iron. The fermentation process enhances their digestibility and boosts gut-friendly bacteria, making them excellent for digestive health. Steaming as the cooking method means no added oil, keeping them low in fat. Pairing idlis with sambar (a lentil and vegetable stew) and coconut chutney adds additional fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats. However, for those monitoring carbohydrate intake, idlis can be high in carbs due to the rice content. Overall, idlis are a wholesome, balanced, and versatile food choice suitable for various dietary needs.
