HOW TO MAKE FRIED IDLI

Howdy all!

Here we are sharing one more recipe from our favorites – Fried Idli

Idli is a traditional food of South India and is basically served with Sambhar and Coconut chutney. Made from Rice and Black lentils paste and it is steamed in the steamer and served.

Fried Idli can be made from fresh idli’s or left over idli’s . We here used the left over idli’s and it hardly take 10-15 minutes for cooking.

This stuff will let you go in the kitchen and cook. Its tempting 😉 really Must try for once.
