Idli with sambar and coconut chutney
A typical Idli. Each restaurant makes its own version.

About Idli

Idli are soft, steamed cakes made from the same fermented rice and lentil batter as dosa. Light and easy to digest, they are one of the most common breakfasts in South India.

Regional versions

Thatte idli from Karnataka is large and flat, rava idli is made with semolina, and podi idli is tossed in a spicy lentil powder and ghee. Mini idlis floating in sambar are sold as sambar idli.

What to order with it

Dip them in sambar and coconut chutney. Order a medu vada with them for the classic idli vada plate.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
