STEP BY STEP OF MAKING IDLI MANCHURIAN
Idli Manchurian (From leftover Idli)
I love this Idly Manchurian a lot,its more like a snack food to us.Just pick a food stick and poke it and eat like finger food.I enjoy making this a lot because whenever I make it,it disappears like magic.My whole family loves it,Hy husband has a liking to soya sauce(I know it's bad)but We like to eat this when we are bored with our regular idly or dosas.I know it has oil in them but for some reason I find this dish very light to stomach,it absorbs very less oil(don't ask me how,but I feel so light)so weight watchers stay away from this dish but others lets dip it,its not really that oily trust me.
