"Aristocrat of an Indian Breakfast" Idli @ Radisson GRT Chennai

Walking down garden cafe during the Breakfast session, I saw Bob (an american guest) draw out a steak knife and a fork in defence of the "White Round Wonder" which layed across his table Piled up like the walls of Jericho, They showed no signs of defending themselves.
Bob, Meanwhile had other plans...His mind is incepted of drowning the recheard fella in the lentil stew what is left on da table, to make matters worse he's got some firey friends in his arsenal the " Chilly Podi".>>>>Gone in 60 seconds<<<<<<< WRW (white round wonder0R.I.P (resting in peace).

WRW (white round wonder) The Idli is made with fermented rice and black gram (urad dhal) is a good source of carbohydrates and proteins .It is no surprise that hospitals in Chennai, birth place of the Idli, prescribe the nutritious Idli even for patients under ICU.

The doctors’ verdict? Idli is steam-cooked, easily digestible and healthy.
The Idli is a bit of a flirt. Some like it bathed in Sambhar (Take a scoop of the Idli with a spoon, dip it in Sambhar and enjoy!) There are others who like it smeared with coconut Chutney and the orthodox few prefer it with chilli-powder or the Podi.
The family of Idly is quite unique, And it dose have the potential to floor even the tough'est of oppenents. The batter can be pepped up whith usual ‘thaalip (crackled mustard seeds with curry leaves) and a snap of turmeric powder will reincarnate the white round wonder to a powerfull kanjeevaram Idlies ( cooked in steel tumbler's). Cook them in tiny moulds the smaller version which will nibble every Infant even while they gibers'h to their pals.
Left-over idlis? “ Break up a few idlis into bite-size chunks, add some chilli powder and the usual ‘thaalip gently roast it in medium heat. Idly Upma is at your disposal.
A simple visual test across my breakfast spread: A fluffy, geometrical beauty of WRW .Clearly emerges as the "Aristocrat" of the Breakfast Butffet...."Enu Oru Idly Venuma Sir?".
