Idly is delicious and favorities food for breakfast in Kerala, South India. Even sometimes they enjoyed as snack in anytime. Idli is steamed rice cake made from wet grindder rice. Indonesia had a steam cake also but idly really something diffrent.

Idli batter should have overnight fermentation, you have to prepare idli batter in advance so you can cook it in the following day. I used special idli moul to make the idlis into good shapes. Idly goes with sambhar ( mix vegetables with lentil soup) and coconut chutney :)
