Hi
You can eat idly ( steamed foods are good) and can also have sambar with less spice in it...
Have small frequent meals...bland food is a viable option for you ...avoid spicy masala foods, sour foods ...more fluids, water around 2 to 3 litres per day, juices of watermelon, cucumber, papaya more beneficial...
Intake of all seasonal fruits and vegetables, leafy green vegetables, high fiber, moderate protein and moderate complex carbs, buttermilk, barley water, coconut water, saboodana water all ate beneficial in your condition...
Well balanced diet, healthy lifestyle such as of daily exercises, good amount of sleep, exposure to sun are essential..

Have sure you Restrict spice intake in diet.
Have small and frequent meals. Include easy to digest foods. Idlis home made allowed but avoid idli batter made outside or outside idlis.
Sambar made without sambar masala and made with moong dal allowed. Use gaurd veg as they are easy to digest.
