The taste does depend on the accompaniment. All are talking about Idli – Sambar. How about Idli – Nethu Vacha Meen Kuzhambu (Yesterday’s fish curry) or Idli – Mutton Peas Kurma (Sunday staple at my home)? I like Sambar but Fish curry is bae. https://t.co/tsoxXXiGNv

Have you had mini idlis soaked in Sambhar and ghee?

Agreed, taste is always own preference. But give it try for Idly/Mutton(lamb) combination. pic.twitter.com/oVkv5JLLD6

I pity this man. I also get him. It is so difficult to get good #idli. Boring idli IS ubiquitous. https://t.co/dcYZoNn0gX

have to entirely agree! but at the peril of pissing off all the mallus on twitter I will add, malayalis really do not know how to make sambar and chutney for the idlis or dosa for that matter!!! kannadigas and tamils ( in that order) win hands down! https://t.co/g5AVVm6ZKx

I do really hate Bangalore sambhar… And sambhar is made in entirely different styles I’m different parts of Kerala. Point being… It all depends on your taste!

And after a long debate, Anderson responded:
p.s. Before the whole of south India attacks me, can I just say that I love dosa and appam and basically all south Indian food. But idli (and puttu for that matter) are insufferable.
