Idli (Kannada: ಇಡ್ಲಿ,Tamil: இட்லி, Malayalam: ഇഡ്ലി, Telugu: ఇడ్లి), plural idlis, is a traditional breakfast in south India and Sri Lanka. The spongy cakes are usually two to three inches in diameter and are made by steaming a batter consisting of fermented black lentils and rice. Most often eaten at breakfast or as a snack, idlis are usually served in pairs with chutney, sambar or other dipping sauce. Crushed dry spices, such as milagai podi, are an option for idlis eaten on the go.
