Notes
- To prepare Idli Fry, use leftover Idlis or refrigerated Idlis rather than using fresh Idlis. Fresh Idlis may break while frying them while refrigerated Idlis hold their shape. Also refrigerated Idlis consume less oil. Fry the Idlis till it is little crispy.
- To add extra flavour to the fried Idlis, you can also add some vegetables to it such as capsicum, carrots, French beans, etc.
