About Idli (steamed)
Idli is a soft steamed cake made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal, eaten across South India for breakfast with sambar and coconut chutney.
- Values are for plain steamed idli on its own; the sambar, chutney and any ghee or podi served alongside add their own calories, protein and fat.
- Idli size changes from home to home and from mould to mould, so weigh a few pieces once to turn these per gram values into your own plate.
- Rava idli, oats idli and millet idli use different batters, so their values differ from this rice and urad dal idli.
