Masala Idly(Chennai Style)

I still remember my mom used to make idly upma with the leftover idly. So I got the inspiration to make these from there. Ofcourse I added my twist by including my version of Milagai podi to this. This is a great snack and does not need any accompaniment.  It tasted yum.. I hope you will enjoy as well. Happy cooking:

Leftover Idly – 8-10

Onion – 1 medium

Mustard Seeds – 1 tsp

Cumin Seeds – 1 tsp

Chilli powder – ½ tbsp.

Turmeric powder – ½ tbsp.

Curry leaves – 7-8

Corriander leaves – 1 tbsp

Cut leftover idly into cubes and keep it aside.
