fresh ittli served in Sri Lankan style

Ittli – beautiful, fluffy rice cakes, perfect with chutney

  • “Ittli,” also known as “idli,” is not a traditional Sri Lankan dish but rather a popular South Indian dish.
  • However, it is widely enjoyed in Sri Lanka due to the cultural exchange between the two regions.
  • Idli is a savory steamed cake made from a fermented batter of ground rice and lentils.
  • It is typically served with coconut chutney, sambar (a lentil-based vegetable stew), and sometimes a spicy tomato-based chutney.
  • Idli is a common breakfast item in Sri Lanka, appreciated for its light and fluffy texture, as well as its nutritious qualities.
