Idli is one of my favorite items. The reason is that the item is made of rice and that is not hard to digest. So, even if one does eat idlis at night, when there is hardly any exercise for the body at night, yet it is easy on the tummy.

Most important quality of idli is it's cooked on steam. Hence free from oils which are undesirable.

Oh yes, that's true. There aren't any spices and masalas and even oils in the idli. However, only the sambhar can be the culprit at times if there is anything wrong in the stomach. Otherwise, it is a great food item. We often make it in our house. And I love the home made idlis.

Idlis are tasty by themselves....But we can make a lot of variety with it.I add grated carrots, chopped greens like methi leaves and coriander leaves,green chilies to the idli batter and it becomes even more nutritious and tasty..

Really a good variation. Such variations are necessary to avoid monotony.

Most Idlis made of fine rice and that is not good for health, especially for persons dealing with diabetes, in term of health concerns, Idli is steamed product this means it is without oil and it is good for health concerns but Idli made with fine rice is bad for diabetic persons.

I always have seen cooking as an art in no way less than any conventional fine arts. Like with only seven notes a classical singer improvises and creates amazng combinations of Raagas, cooking is also the ability to combine different ingredients in different combinations to produce a delicious dish. Sky is the limit.

Absolutely ! One has to experiment like anywhere else in life.No doubt that traditional recipes that have been handed down over generations still rtain their flavor but one should also explore other avenues !

I think you are referring to the flattened rice.

In most of the north eastern states, people follow somewhat different meal time. Traditionally, the day usually begin with a cup of tea and may be biscuit. They have a heavy meal at around 8-9 am. and again have tea and snacks at around 1-3pm and end the day with a heavy dinner by around 8pm. But nowadays, taking chappati for breakfast is gradually becoming popular
