Idli is a popular dish from South Indian cuisine. For those untouched by the phenomenon, idlis are steamed cakes made from rice flour. The soft and moist idli batter can also be spruced up with lentils and pulses like rava idli. Idlis are generally served with a side of hot and piping sambhar and some coconut chutney. The idlis are available in a variety of types, ranging from rava idli to thatte idlis. The size and taste of idli may vary from place to place as would the condiments. Now, if you don't want to have the same idli-sambhar combination again, you can do something creative with your leftovers. Here are some delicious snack recipes that you can devour by using idlis.
