Interesting Snippet:
Idli: That soft, fluffy Idli, the quintessential South Indian breakfast, feels utterly homegrown, right? Some claims this humble dish's ancestor actually sailed into India from Indonesia centuries ago!
Fun Facts
The concept of a steamed, fermented rice and lentil batter dish, which gives Idli its signature light texture and boosted nutritional value, might have been a delicious import. From its mysterious overseas beginnings, Buddhist monks, during their travels and trade missions to Southeast Asia, brought back steamed version of fluffy Idli made from fermented rice to India.
Time Pass
Looks like our Idli might have needed a passport centuries ago! Who knew breakfast could be such an international traveller?! 🚢😋
