For the last three years, March 30 has been celebrated as World Idli Day. The delicious south Indian steamed rice cake is often eaten for breakfast along with piping hot sambhar and a variety of tasty chutneys. And while some would say that every day should be World Idli Day (okay, it's us, we would say it), Twitterati were mostly surprised when the hashtag #WorldIdliDay started trending. In fact, it has been among the top three Twitter trends in India all day. World Idli Day for the win!
According to The Daily Pioneer, World Idli Day is the brainchild of Eniyavan, a popular idli-only caterer from Chennai. The Hindu Business Line reports that in 2015, he made a staggering 1,328 varieties of idlis to institute and commemorate this day. There was even a giant 44-kilogram idli that was cut by a top bureaucrat to seal the deal and declare March 30 as World Idli Day forevermore.
