History of World Idli Day

A precursor of the modern idli is mentioned in several ancient Indian works. The iddalige finds mention in the 920 CE literary work Vaddaradhane, in the Kannada language. Very similar to the modern-day idli, iddalige was prepared using only black gram (urad dal) batter. Western Chalukya king and scholar Someshwara III in his work, Manasollasa mentions a food item named iddarika.

But the very first mention of idli made using rice was seen only after 1250 CE. A Gujarati literary work Varanaka Samuchaya dated 1520 CE mentions idli as idari. The earliest extant Tamil work to mention idli is Maccapuranam, dated back to the 17th century.
