## What is Idli Kadai?

Run a tiny South Indian idli shop with your own two thumbs!

Pour the batter, catch each idli in its perfect fluffy moment, ladle coconut chutney and bubbling sambar, fry crispy medu vada and brew frothy filter kaapi — then plate it all on a banana leaf before your customers' patience runs out.

• A cozy 14-day campaign, then endless mornings
• Newspaper uncles, silk-saree aunties, school kids, auto annas… and whole families who need TWO banana leaves
• Parcel pickups, rush hours, tip combos and walkout penalties — money is the only score
• 11 kadai upgrades, from a copper boiler to the Ilaiyaraaja radio playing original kadai melodies
• Hand-crafted haptics and a fully synthesized soundscape
• A cute home-screen widget so your idli never feels far away

No ads. No timers. Just sooda sooda idli.
