If there's one South Indian dish that can give classic dosa a run for the money, then it surely is the idli. Idli is the second most popular South Indian dish (the first being dosa) among all. In fact, to most of India (and abroad), South Indian cuisine is synonymous with dosa and idli. Idli is light, nutritious and fulfilling to the core. This further makes idli a popular meal choice to kick-start the day. Pair idli with coconut chutney and sambar - and you get a delicious meal in just no time.
