Masala Idli or Spicy Masala Tawa Idli can be a very addictive recipe for everyone. Before when I initially started making this like few years before, Masala Idli was always our dinner food but now it’s become like a snack food. I always made it when I had leftover Idli , but these days I have started to make a fresh Idli batch and freeze it for sometime and I make it. Adding lots of flavor is always fun. You can add any ingredients and substitute your veggie according to availability. But I like my masala Idli roadside way so I don’t add much veggies, just capsicum and peas to have that crunchy flavour while you take a bite of your Idli.
Most of the South Indian houses make Idli very often and it’s boring for me to eat the same Idli all the time. Of Course there’s yummy Sambar and many Chutney varieties can be paired and enjoyed but they all take little time. I love fast food kind of dish, like have one main star ingredient and love making recipes around that. For example in this tmasala Idli case the star is “Leftover Idli”. There’s lot of variety we can make using Idli. Few of them are Idli Manchurian, Idli upma, Kaima Idli, I love all of them. But this masala Idli has become like our main food to snacking food. I can quickly make this when I crave for something spicy or heavy during my Tea time . Its super simple and very tasty. I sometimes make this a bit different adding few veggies, it depends on my mood but if you are a street food lover then stick with the recipes mentioned above Because that’s how they make it yumm on the popular street. There are so many varieties even in Masala idli, in south it’s made with southern spices. I called it kaima Idli. I have the recipes you can check it out. Now off to making Masala Idli.
