Idli Platter Menu showcases different easy-to-make Idli Varieties that you can make for a party or for a relaxed brunch.
To make it complete, this platter has a snack and a sweet to have a sweet ending. The different idlis chosen to be made are easy to make, instant dishes that can be accomplished in a short span of time.
Serve these idlis with different side dishes of choice like Chinna Vengaya Sambar, Coconut Chutney, Idli Milagai Podi, Brinjal Gosthu, and complete the meal with Chow chow Halwa.
Everybody enjoyed the different Idlis made for the Platter along with the different side dishes. If making sambar is tough, you can make different chutneys as well.
I was waiting for when I could make this platter as I knew I have to make this for the elders at home. Finally, I was able to cook these on a Saturday and it surely helped as I had some instant recipes on hand from Amma's cookbook collection.

My version is coming later. 🙂 That is one inviting breakfast platter to any south Indian and that chow chow halwa is an interesting and lovely addition. I would have reached for that halwa first if that platter was in front of me. 🙂

Between me and my husband, we can polish off the entire platter in a matter of minutes :-), every single dish in there is a favorite! Not just the idlis the side dishes are also great, who won’t be satisfied with sambar, Gothsu and chutney!!
Vaishali says
Omg,so many idlis!
Wow ! I never knew sabudana could be used for idlis. Rawa idli is a personal favourite and I love the idea of this platter. This kind of meal is so soul satisfying.
Halwa surely will be a treat, though I have never tasted chow chow !
The name Chow chow sounds like something Chinese ehe he .. though I know it’s a South ka sabzi , but yet to explore .

What a splendid spread of idlis there. I have had my eyes set on chow chow halwa though. I haven't heard of vermicelli idli. Will look for it for sure. The accompaniments are a rteat for sure.

Love this comforting idli platter with assorted sides. I am eyeing on that bonda and chow chow halwa. Recently made some zucchini halwa but slightly differently. This is definitely a comforting platter as you mentioned especially for elders.

If all are instant idlis, it is a must platter with so many varieties. Love that sabudana Idli with some sabudana it. And I will check that chow chow halwa...tempting
