Fried Masala Idli

Fried idli or Masala idli is very delicious, full of flavor, very easy to make and a quick recipe. It can be served as morning breakfast or a evening snack. This is truly vegan, gluten free and a perfect after school snack. 


Fried Idli is a mildly spiced sautéed recipe made from idli. The idlis are fried till they are crispy and then tossed in curry leaves and other spices. Idli is a traditional South Indian Breakfast made from rice and Urad Dal. This recipe can be made either from fresh idlis or leftover idlis. Fresh idlis absorb more oil than the refrigerated idlis. Leftover idlis that have been refrigerated work better as they tend to hold their shape better when frying.
