Wow. I now know to criticise south Indian food at my peril! The idli defenders appear to be a seriously passionate bunch. But will my in-laws in Kerala forgive me??
p.s. Before the whole of south India attacks me, can I just say that I love dosa and appam and basically all south Indian food. But idli (and puttu for that matter) are insufferable.
One problem with pissing off south Indian twitter is that they are in literally every timezone - even when India sleeps, the irate replies keep coming! 😉
As far as I’m concerned every day is Idli Day but today, March 30, is officially
#WorldIdliDay
. As far as I’m concerned, the greatest breakfast food ever devised by Man or God!

Sorry that i have to butt in. Kerala is not known for Idly. You should have tried at a Tamil house. With cocunut chutney and sambhar. If time permits try Saravana Bhavan Idly.
@edanderson101
Aiyo!
Have you tried idli with mutton kheema curry? (minced lamb, coconut, ginger, garlic, onion)
Or idli with mutton liver curry?
Or idli with chicken curry (vietnamese style)?
