Glutinous rice, also called sticky rice or sweet rice, is the main type of rice grown and consumed by the Lao of Laos and Northeast Thailand, areas which are considered to be the primary center of origin and domestication of Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.). It has been cultivated in this area for 4,000 years. An estimated 85% of Lao rice production is of this type. Despite the misleading name, glutinous rice does not contain dietary gluten (i.e. does not contain glutenin and gliadin), and thus in theory should be safe for gluten-free diets. The word glutinous, meaning glue-like or sticky, comes from the Latin glūtinōsus. The term glutinous rice refers to rice having no (or negligible amounts of) amylose, and high amounts of amylopectin, the two components of starch. Amylopectin is responsible for the sticky quality of glutinous rice. ...more on Wikipedia about "Glutinous rice"

Idli, also spelled Idly or Iddly, ( Tamil: இட்லி) ( Kannada:ಇಡ್ಲಿ) is a food native to southern India, common in the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. It is most often eaten at breakfast or as a snack. The traditional idli is a small, round patty of batter made of rice and lentils (specifically urad dal) and steamed. The 2"-3" diameter idli is usually served in pairs with chutney, sambar, or other condiments such as dry, crushed spice mixtures. The latter, Milagai Podi, may contain ground chilies, spices, seeds and lentils, and is useful if the idlis are to be eaten later away from home. Dipping in oil can prevent more souring of the idlis in the day's heat, and helps the dry seasonings to stick. Plain idlis may have little more than salt as seasoning, but there are many variations in ingredients. Some contemporary versions contain neither rice nor urad dal, but the finished product is still recognizably an idli. ...more on Wikipedia about "Idli"
