All that we need to kick-start the day is some wholesome food. And, what can be better than indulging in some South Indian dish in the morning? Among all breakfast options, foods like idli and dosa offer the most lip-smacking flavours. They not only make you full but are nutritious too. For most of us, paratha, toast or oats is the preferred breakfast but when some idlis are on the table, hardly anyone can resist taking a bite. For Shilpa Shetty too, a couple of idlis seem to be the way to get charged for the day.
