My Favorite South Indian Breakfast

Have you ever tried idli? If the answer is no, you’re missing out. This fermented and steamed batter is the perfect vessel for sambar and chutneys and is one of my favorite South Indian breakfasts. If you live in Kerala or just wanna know more info about the shop I mentioned it’s here:

You don't only manage to break Indian stereotypes, but also capture the nuance of our street life and food culture 💗 thank you!

I love how Beryl gives an explanation for the people who are uninitiated to South Indian food but also adds interesting add-ons for South Indians as well! Reaches the full spectrum of her audience. I'm from Tamil Nadu and this is the first time I'm hearing of a Ramisseri Idli. I can't wait to try it!

Thank you Beryl for mentioning both India and Sri Lanka! It’s not a big deal to some people but as a Sri Lankan, it made me happy to see someone include us. Glad you love idili!!

I actually have tried that Kerala idli, but for the life of me i cant remember when. Living in south India, ive travelled all over Kerala with my family, so it's understandable i guess.
That being said, idli is my go to comfort dish, especially when I'm sick. It's hearty, light(when it's actually made well), and the spicy chutney or sambar really feel good when I have a runny nose

Idly pots are very recent, before these pots people used small basket moulds, fill clay half of the pots with water and hay then arrange sticks criss-cross, place the moulds on the sticks and then steam. 😍

I love you Beryl! Thanks for always highlighting nuances in cultural dishes! 💕

[heiwaitsumo]

Yeah they're one of my favorite comfort food 🤩 Similar to the Kerala idlies is the one you'll find in Karnataka called "Thatte idli" that's amazing too! Your pronunciation of the condiments is perfect 😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you for sharing this 😊🙏🏼

I'm from Palakkad in Kerala where Ramasseri idlis are made.. they're amazing...

[ananyasrividya]

Idly is such a great thing to eat any time of day! Super healthy too, as a bonus. There‘s a lesser known side dish called ‘gothsu’, which is a savoury stew like sambhar but without the dal (lentils). The most popular gothsu is one made of eggplant and other vegetables.

Another fun way of eating this is marinating the idly in a special chilli powder mix called ‘molaga podi’ with sesame oil. Super simple but tastes fantastic.

I’m from Tamil Nadu and love your take on South Indian food ❤

Cant get enough of these shorts. I want so badly for an indian food place near me but the gulf of mexico(Ms area) doesnt seem to have many

[raiza]

In the state of Tamilnadu we call it as "Thattu idly". "Thattu" means a plate. Since the idly looks like a plate we call it that way.

[FunwithAkshayah]

As an Indian I have finally found a way to describe idli to my friends who aren’t . Thank you and also you should dip idli in sambar and eat it with vadai. It’s bomb😋

[mahimusicals]

Absolutely love the way you present all cultural foods, with so much interest, respect & freshness! Your pronunciation’s on point, by the way!! There are so many Indian people who pronounce “SAAM-BAAR” as “SAAM-BUHR, ” and it used to drive me nuts 😂 It makes a difference to us as South Indians because our food has actually been underrepresented in the larger understanding of Indian cuisine throughout the world. Thanks to creators, ethnically Indian or not, we’re able to see the diversity of Indian cuisine at a much larger scale- thank you 💛

Idli is my favorite Indian food. Next to dosa. ❤ I love sambar. I wish I could find South Indian near me 😢

[bobabl]

Ramasseri Idlis are a must try!!!
They are so delicious, fluffy and lightweight, and the sambhar they serve is also delicious.

[ClearBlueSky]

It's so heartening to hear about Idlies on your channel beryl 😍😍😍, they are honestly the best breakfast and comfort food at the same time and I'm so happy you not only love them but spread the idly love to people who don't know about South Indian cuisine ☺️!!

[hasbezurainiabubakar]

Hello from Malaysia. Our friday family breakfast favourite is idli with over easy eggs with sambar, curry and coconut chutney all soaked in. Such satisfaction.

[Heztnord]

One of my partners is indian and he made idli for me a back in december. It was so good, and the texture was amazing!

[AnilYanamandra]

This video made my Idly obsessed heart happy! Making Idly batter is very easy and will significantly improve the taste. Highly recommend giving it a try.

[chiaradamore-klaiman]

Great video! Idli are so delicious. I have loved them ever since I tried them about 15 years ago, and in all that time I had no idea there was another type! Idli in sambar are a lot like dumplings, and I think most people on here can agree that dumplings are one of humanity’s best inventions.
