Idli Fry Recipe – Idli Fingers – Baked Idli Fry

Idli Fry Recipe

Idli Fry or Idli Fingers is nothing but fried idli with a generous sprinkle of spice powders which can be anything of your choice like chat masala powder / amchur powder / roasted jeera powder, it can be a great snack to be had.I’ve already tried chilli idli so this time wanted to try idli fry and baked version of it, I loved both versions but obviously the deep fried version scored a little more than the baked version.I usually make idli upma with leftover idli which is my favorite anytime.This idli fry can be had as such or can be accompanied with tomato ketchup.

I made this idli fry(deep fried version)in the morning and then served it for mittu as evening after school snack, still the crispness was there and she loved it.I had the baked version soon after the photo shoot itself, it was super spicy and yum.

Idli Fry Recipe

My Notes:

  • Using a day old idli works best.I used fresh idlis so refrigerated for a while then used.
  • If you use fresh idlis as such it may start sticking while frying in oil.
  • While deep frying take care to fry the smaller pieces in a batch then bigger pieces in another batch.
  • The spice powders are your preference.Adjust to your liking.
  • The baked version is a little spicy, so adjust spice level according to your taste buds.
  • You can also tawa fry the idlis.
