Notes
I always use leftover idli to make this. If you are using fresh idli make sure to refrigerate for sometime so pieces come neat.
This is mild spicy and if you want more spicy you can increase red chilli powder or green chillies.
We always have it immediately. If you want to keep for long time you can deep fry the idli for more crispiness.
