Ready-to-cook idli mixes are a boon, especially for those who love south Indian food. Usually eaten with sambar and chutneys, which can range from coconut to even a spicy tomato chutney, the idli is considered to be one of the healthiest breakfasts in the world. Over time, people have also fashioned variations, using different grains apart from rice, millet being an example, to make the idli. The two most popular types however still are the rice and the rava (sooji) idlis. Time to binge on this delicious and fulfilling breakfast, isn’t it?
Having said that, while plenty of south Indian homes prepare their own idli batters, it’s not something that can be put together in a hurry. It requires accurate measurements of ingredients, overnight soaking, and a lot of grinding. And this is where idli mixes step in. They cut down on your cooking time drastically and give you the same tasty idlis in a manner of minutes. Let’s take a look at some of the best brands available online.
