Kalai Selvan handing out morning idly packets.


The kids got a special meal for breakfast on Christmas morning. Each child got 4 idly with sambar and chutney. Idly is a South Indian specialty made from rice and dhal flour ground to form a batter. Then the batter is steamed in trays with cupcake-tin-type indentations to make a fluffy, round, "pillow" shaped idly.
