Masala Fry Idli Recipe | How To Make Masala Fry Idli

Masala Fry Idli is one of the easiest and tasty recipes for breakfast/brunch. If you ever made idli in lunch and some idlis are leftover then you can make Masala Fry Idli as an evening snack. It tastes so delicious and this was my favorite school lunch box as well. Whenever I take this Masala Fry Idli for a school lunch break, only 2-3 pieces left for me because my friends liked the flavors and taste of the Masala Fry Idli. From school, till now Masala Fried Idli is my favorite breakfast/brunch. Sometimes I made idli, especially for this Masala Idli recipe.

In this recipe, you can add any kind of idli but I like Rava Idli in this recipe because personally, I prefer Urad Dal idli only with Sambhar. Rava Idli is best for this recipe. Here I am also sharing How to Make Rava Idli. In Masala Fry Idli, you can add capsicum, cabbage, or any other vegetable you want. This recipe is a little bit close to the Manchurians but here I am not deep frying the Idlis.

I don’t think Masala Fry Idli has any authentic way to cook, this is just an experimental recipe. You can make your own flavors for leftover idlis and these flavors are totally depends on your taste and preferences. As we know everyone has a different taste and way of cooking. But I hope you like and try my flavor in leftover idli and share your experience in the comment section below.
