Ode to idly

Idly oh idly
So white and fluffy
Like a cloud dunked in sambar
You melt in the mouth

Bland to a fault
but so soft
You go with everything
Maybe best with
Spicy rough podi,
with dollops of gingelly oil
How about with
Mint chutney and tomato
Awesome with rasam
Just heaven with chicken curry
Tamarind gravy

And you come in such sizes
As big as a palm
Tiny as a coin
And every size in between

Best for breakfast,
adding light and spring
Perfect for dinner
after a long day or flight
I cant wait
To have you tonight
