Mallige Idli, also known as Jasmine Idli, is a soft and spongy idli that gets its name from its resemblance to the fragrant jasmine flower. It is a specialty idli from the state of Karnataka in South India. Mallige idli is made using a unique technique where the idli batter is poured into small cups lined with banana leaves or cloth. The cups are then steamed until the idlis are cooked. This method gives the idlis a distinct aroma and flavor. Mallige idli is typically served with coconut chutney and sambar. It is a popular breakfast dish in Karnataka and is often served in weddings and special occasions.
