About Two medium idlis
Two medium idlis are a staple of South Indian cuisine, made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (black gram lentils). These soft, fluffy steamed cakes are known for their simplicity and lightness, making them a healthy breakfast or snack option. Idlis are naturally low in calories and contain minimal fat, offering a good source of protein and carbohydrates. The fermentation process enhances their nutrient content by boosting the availability of vitamins like B12 and improving digestion. Idlis are gluten-free, making them suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. Traditionally served with chutney and sambar, pairing them with wholesome accompaniments can further enhance their nutritional value. While idlis themselves are healthy, overindulgence in high-fat or high-sodium side dishes could negate their benefits. Overall, two medium idlis provide a balanced, nourishing option rooted in a centuries-old culinary tradition.
