Masala Idli Recipe- Spicy Masala Tawa Idli can be a very addictive recipe for everyone. Masala Idli is an easy recipe suitable for both breakfast and snacks. I am sure most south Indian homes will have leftover idlis and you can easily transform these idlis into a mouth watering starter dish. This is one of my favorite ways to serve masala idli.
Idli is a traditional breakfast in South Indian households. It is a savoury cake that is popular throughout India and neighboring countries like Sri Lanka. The cakes are usually four to five inches in diameter and are made by steaming a batter consisting of urad dal and rice or Suji(rawa) for its instant idli version.
Ingredients:
Steamed Idli- 5 pc (You can use traditional urad dal idli or rava idli)

Tomato ketchup-1 tea spoon
Red chilly Ketchup -1 tea spoon
Mustard seeds-1 tea spoon
Curry leaves-10 to 12 pc
Salt-to taste

Method:
- Cut leftover steamed idlis (dal idli / rava idli) into two halves or also you can cut it in four pieces.
