Dahl Idli

Idli is a traditional breakfast in South Indian household. Dahi ildi is nothing but yogurt dipped idlis (steamed rice cake). Today sharing this delicious breakfast or yummy snacks for scorching summer days. It’s the best way to use leftover idlis. So if you have some leftover idlis or want to try it with fresh ones just go for it. Yummy creamy chilled yogurt with soft idli is a heavenly combo in fiery summer. I add some of my twist to make it yummier. Hope you all will like it. Enjoy Dahi idli.
