Idli Rice is a white, medium grain used for making the soft spongy savory cake – a traditional breakfast in South Indian households. Idli Rice grains are short, fat and have a white spot in the middle of the grain. They are usually soaked along with urad dal and parboiled rice and ground in a wet mixer. The resulting batter is used to make Idli, the South Indian rice cakes or crispy dosa and is nutritious for your daily diet.
