Instructions
- If you are using fresh idlis then refrigerate for 30mins.

- Saute till the masalas blend well and tomatoes are mushy.
- Then add capsicum and saute for a while.
- Sprinkle little water to make it to a semi gravy then add the idlis and toss well.Finally garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
- Serve Masala Idli hot!
Notes
- I used fresh idlis so refrigerated and then used.
- If you are using leftover previous day idlis then you can cut it as such even without refrigerating.
- This dish is slightly moist, should not be too dry so sprinkle little water.
- After the idli cubes are added, don’t overcook just toss over else idlis will start to crumble.
- Adding chana masala powder is optional, you can replace it with garam masala powder.
