Notes/Tips
Idli and Sambar are the combinations meant for each other. The word Idli is derived from the Indonesian ‘Kidli’ for similar steamed cakes. Soft fluffy idlis served with savory, spiced and lightly tangy sambhar – a vegetable stew made with lentils and assorted vegetables is a winning combination made for each other. I love to have this breakfast in monsoons with a hot cup of tea. It’s quite filling and an ideal meal for family . What’s your idea of Monsoons?
