 The idly (or idli) is a beloved South Indian dish made from fermented rice and urad dal (black gram) batter. While it’s a staple breakfast item today, its history is both fascinating and debated. πŸ₯₯ πŸ•°️ History of Idly: Origins & Evolution  πŸ”Ή 1. Ancient Origins (Not Originally Fermented) Early references to dishes resembling idly date back over 1,000 years . Texts like the Manasollasa (12th century Sanskrit encyclopedia) mention a dish called “Iddalige” made with black gram batter .

Fermentation Influence: Possibly Indonesian Some food historians suggest fermentation techniques may have come from Indonesia , where similar steamed rice cakes (like kue putu ) existed. Indian kings of the Shailendra dynasty (9th–12th centuries) had cultural ties with Southeast Asia, possibly bringing the idea back. πŸ“˜ Food historian K.T. Achaya proposed that the modern ...
