According to a recent study conducted by food delivery app Uber Eats, Idli (often consumed with sambhar and a variety of chutneys) is the most ordered breakfast item in Bengaluru, Mumbai and Chennai.
"Idli has been a top breakfast item that consumers love... It appeals to people of varied food preferences and is a popular comfort food for many," Deepak Reddy, Head of Central Operations, Uber Eats India, said in a statement on Thursday.
As per the data collected from restaurants across 38 cities, Bengaluru consumes Idli the most, followed by Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, and Hyderabad. Globally, San Francisco, London, and New Jersey were found as the top Idli ordering cities.
For the last three years, March 30 has been celebrated as World Idli Day. It is said to be the brainchild of Eniyavan, a popular Idli-only caterer from Chennai.
