 IDLI SAMABHAR:


Tamil people are very hospitable and love feeding others, there are a lot of Tamil Brahmins, so their food is mainly vegetarian. but they have non-vegetarian dishes as well.The main ingredients in making food are rice, gram, and curry leaves. The main dishes are Poriyal, Varuval, Pachadi, Idli, Payasam, Sambar, Thokku, Vadai, Kuzambu, Uttapam, and Vada.

The most popular food is Idli Sambhar, prepared by steaming the ground mixture of soaked.rice and white lentils and is eaten with sambhar which is a type of south Indian Dal.with a lot of vegetables and is sour in taste.

Gujarati historians believe that it was Saurashtrian textile merchants who introduced idli to South India during the 10th and 12th centuries. There are even claims that a mix of rice and black gram ground together and later steamed to form cakes had its origins in Gujarat.The Gujarati work Varṇaka Samuccaya (1520 CE) mentions idli as idari, and also mentions its local adaption idada (a non-fermented version of dhokla).

The earliest extant Tamil work to mention idli (as itali) is Maccapuranam, dated to the 17th century. In 2015, Chennai-based Idli caterer Eniyavan started celebrating 30 March as the "World Idli Day".
