Notes

  • You can make this idlis little saucy or dry as you like it.
  • If you have spring onions use them for garnish.
  • If you have different coloured capsicum like red yellow it will be eye-catching.
  • Fry idlis nicely golden and fry them in very hot oil otherwise it will absorb lots of oil.
