Notes

you can add any type of vegetables you like. As idlis are precooked, check that the vegetables added are cooked well before adding the idlis
In case of very tangy idli, little sugar can also be added.
Cold idlis work best for fried as steamed hot idlis will become very soft and will break in oil.
