Idli: History, Preparation & Batter fermentation
Idli (/ˈɪdliː/; plural: idlis) or idly is a South Indian and Sri Lankan rice cake popular as a breakfast food. The cakes are made by steaming a batter consisting of fermented hulled black lentils and rice. The fermentation process breaks down the starches so that they are more easily digested.
