Idli
Also called: Idli with sambar, Идли с самбаром, Idli sambar, Idli & sambar
Steamed cakes of fermented rice and lentil batter, white and mild: the gentlest thing on any South Indian menu, and what the region feeds children and anyone recovering from something.
How it's eaten
Dunk it in sambar until it soaks through: a dry idli explains nothing about why the south eats them daily.
