Idli - the idle food

Bangalore is bringing a lot of change in me. The most affected among them is the eating habit. Three weeks back "idli" was never in the list of favourties for breakfast. After experimenting with different types of dosas here "idli" looks like the best possible breakfast item. Though Poori looks like a great option, the sidedish is nearly horrible. Found a lot of people with the same experience and idea.  Here is a list of points supporting the latest favorite item.

1) It does not contain oil.
2) Easy to digest.
3) As long as the chutney is eatable, idli can be eaten
4) Takes less time to prepare, so waiting time in hotel is less
5) Finally, as far as my experience holds, it is difficult to make a bad bad
idli when compared to other items.

A lot of changes in a short period.

In my personal experience, I won't (can't) accept this. The worst ever dish I have taken in Sagar hotels is Idli. I ate this in some Sagar hotel, during my first day to office in Bangalore and have never dared to try than again (in Sagar hotels). You should note, I'm blasting only about those Idlis found in Sagar hotels.

Namma oru idli eppovumae suuru dhan!

I haven't tried idli in sagar hotels. After reading this, no thought of trying it. In a hotel near my home, idli is the only food that looks good :(
