This is yet another dish made by my DH.My mom used to make fried idly whenever we refused to eat plain idlis.But she would just fry and saute with idly molagai podi.This recipe is little bit different.
Warning:You will definitely need more idlis than you used to eat usually, to prepare this dish cuz this tastes sooooo good..When I ate this I was so guilty of my gluttony:)
Ingredients:
Idlis - 6 (completely cooled and cut into cubes)
Onion - 1 finely chopped

Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Idly molagai podi/Gunpowder - 2 tsp
Oil for deep frying the idlis
