About Idli Recipe
Traditionally, idli is a south Indian food made with rice or sooji (rava/semolina). But nowadays it is eaten in every part of India.
Today, I made an idli batter with the suji. If you prefer rice batter then you can see my dosa batter post. Use this batter for making dosa or idli.
Idli tastes best with sambar, and coconut chutney(nariyal chutney). I have made also peanut chutney and tomato chutney. You can try them also.
