    NOTE
  • To get super crispy idli pieces,deep fry in medium high flame for more time.It stays crispy for long time.Refrigerating the idli helps to cut it without crumbs.Do not freeze it at any cost.
  • If u are calorie conscious,u can shallow fry them in a pan adding little oil OR saute them in dosa pan by drizzling oil around it.The  below picture is chilli idli made using shallow fried idlis.But when u shallow fry,it may become slightly soggy while u eat.

    My mother used to slice the idli in half and fill it with potato curry ( like the masala dosa filling), press the other half on top of the curry and shallow fry on a pan, till it got slightly brown. And we would eat it with sauce. This was a great way to finish left over idlis. But your recipe is rather novel. Interesting.
