About Idly

Idly is a popular South Indian dish made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (black gram lentils). These soft, fluffy discs are traditionally steamed, making them a light and nutritious breakfast or snack option. Originating from Indian cuisine, idly is celebrated for its simple preparation and digestible nature. Fermentation enhances its gut-friendly properties, promoting healthy digestion and boosting nutrient absorption. Idly is low in calories and fat, making it an excellent choice for weight management. It provides essential nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, and iron while being gluten-free and suitable for a variety of dietary needs. However, pairing idly with high-fat condiments or fried accompaniments might increase calorie intake. Typically served with chutneys and sambhar, this wholesome dish offers a balanced meal that caters to both taste and health-conscious preferences.
