Breakfasts cover the range, from a quick toast with jam before work to an elaborate spread of dishes on Sunday. Idli sambar, a South Indian classic combo, hits the spot every time. Steamed, fluffy rice cakes are paired with a hot, lentil curry with a soup-like consistency. The result? A filling breakfast that leaves you full, not lethargic. Idli batter usually requires a long fermentation. This recipe uses instant idli mix for quicker but equally delicious results.
