Remember when you were a kid, you always knew that going back home to mom’s cooking will cheer you up no matter how bad your day was at school? This is because it’s more than just about the taste, when your mother cooks. It’s the love and care she puts into her cooking, and the sheer freshness of the meal itself that comforts you. Our foods are very much the same. We’ve poured our love into them by using only natural ingredients and keeping it preservative-free all the way. With our new proposition #MadeWithLove, we look to redefine the language of love, through food.

Steamed idlis are the ideal breakfast recipes for people of all ages. They are tasty and equally nutritious for you to prepare them as a tiffin recipe or as a meal for your guests at any time of the day. Idli benefits your body by absorbing more nutrients and keeping your gut healthy. On top of this, its deliciousness makes it a favourite of many people around the world. Carrot idli is one such South Indian breakfast recipe that combines the colourful carrots with healthy idli batter to prepare a meal that attracts your kids and nourishes their bodies with idli benefits. I have prepared this recipe with a rich combination of flavours and spices to give it a better taste. Once prepared, dunk these small white idli in sambar to get a burst of flavours with every bite. To prepare this recipe, I have used iD’s Idli Batter as it is prepared using the freshest ingredients in the most hygienic way possible. Also, it reduces my effort of preparing the batter from scratch, and it tastes delicious. You can either order your idli batter from this link or prepare it using the recipe mentioned in the following section. The iD idli and dosa batter is traditionally prepared using RO-purified water. No preservatives are added to ensure that the idli benefits nourish your body in the best manner.
