World Idli Day 2023: 5 amazing health benefits of this super-light south Indian delicacy

While it is a staple to every south Indian household, idli has also made its way into our houses these days as a perfect breakfast option. Idli as food is extremely versatile and healthy. It is traditionally made out of a combination of rice and urad dal which is allowed to ferment and then steamed for the perfect light mouthfeel. Idli is low in calories and hence good for weight loss. Idli is rich in protein, fibre and iron, leads to better absorption and is good for gut health.
