Idli is a popular South Indian dish that is enjoyed as a breakfast or snack item. It is a type of steamed rice cake made by fermenting a batter consisting of rice and black lentils (urad dal). The batter is typically soaked, ground, and fermented overnight, which gives idli its characteristic soft and fluffy texture.
