Blue Pea Idli is a vibrant twist on the classic South Indian favourite, combining traditional comfort with natural colour. Butterfly pea flowers are steeped in hot water to release their beautiful blue hue, which is then blended into soft idli batter. Steamed until light, fluffy, and airy, these idlis are visually striking yet mild and comforting in flavour. Naturally coloured and simple to prepare, Blue Pea Idli makes a delightful breakfast or snack. Served hot with coconut chutney, it brings together nutrition, creativity, and traditional taste in a beautiful presentation.
