This vibrant South Indian breakfast platter showcases an array of beloved traditional dishes. At the center are idlis, soft and pillowy steamed cakes made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (black gram). Their light, airy texture makes them a favorite morning staple. Alongside the idlis are medu vadas, deep-fried savory fritters shaped like doughnuts, with a crispy golden-brown exterior and a soft, flavorful interior. These vadas are typically made with spiced urad dal, providing a perfect contrast to the softer idli.
Complementing these main dishes is coconut chutney, a creamy and mildly spiced condiment made from fresh coconut, green chilies, and herbs, tempered with mustard seeds and curry leaves for extra flavor. The sweet dish on the plate is Kesari, a decadent semolina-based dessert infused with saffron, ghee, and garnished with roasted cashews and raisins. A cup of traditional South Indian filter coffee completes this wholesome and hearty breakfast.
