Soft, steamed rice-and-lentil cakes served with a warm, tangy sambar and fresh coconut chutney — our Idly (3 pieces) is a light, comforting breakfast favourite for guests near Strathearn and Holyrood.
Idly is a labour of love: a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (split black lentils) is ground fresh, left to rise, then steamed in gentle batches until each cake turns soft, fluffy, and lightly tangy.
Served three to a plate alongside a warm sambar and fresh coconut chutney, it's a light and comforting South Indian breakfast classic — a complete meal on its own and one of the dishes guests specifically drive across Edmonton to order.
Fermented rice and lentil batter, steamed fresh to order for a light, fluffy texture.
