    Home » Side Dishes For Idli-Dosa

    Side Dishes For Idli-Dosa

    Idli and dosa are staple foods at most South Indian homes. They are a quick and healthy choice for breakfast and dinner. Having idli and dosa batter at home puts my mind to rest especially when I return home tired from work. Idli and dosa are quite bland and what makes it interesting are the side dishes.

    While coconut chutney, sambar, idli podi, and onion chutney are the popular side dishes for idli and dosa, there are many more regional-specific sides for the popular idli and dosa.

    Here is a collection of delicious and easy sides for idli and dosa. You can pair these dishes with appam, pongal, and upma varieties as well. Right from Kumbakonam kadappa (Instant Pot Version) to Chidambaram gothsu, to instant tiffin sambar to peanut chutney to kurma, you can find it all here.

    All of these recipes have detailed instructions and stepwise pictures, so making any of them is a breeze and a fun, yummy process to enjoy with your family and friends. Come back for more recipes, and let me know on social media which one is your favorite! :-)
