Two idlis are traditional South Indian steamed rice cakes made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (black gram). This light and fluffy dish is a staple in Indian breakfasts and is often enjoyed with chutneys and sambar, a flavorful lentil-based vegetable stew. Idlis are known for their nutritional benefits; they are low in fat, high in carbohydrates for sustained energy, and provide protein from the urad dal. The fermentation process enhances digestibility and promotes gut health by increasing probiotic content. Since idlis are steamed, they avoid the added fats associated with frying methods, making them a heart-healthy option. While idlis are generally considered wholesome, pairing them with high-calorie or overly oily sides may add extra calories. Suitable for vegan diets, idlis are a nutritious, low-calorie choice for those seeking balanced meals with authentic Indian flavors.
