    Spicy Podi idli

    Whenever I got leftover idlis, I make idli upma first as I love it a lot. When I was at my in-laws place last year, I made this for my father in law.

    I don't remember exactly how I made but I love making dishes with gun powder. Be it dosai or idli fries sprinkled with podi.

    Made this last year at my first live cooking demo with Suvai Foods. I demonstrated how to prepare this using their idli.

    I tasted their podi couple of times and love the flavour a lot. It is just like the homemade flavour and fresh too.

    I haven't tried adding vellam or sugar in my podi, but they have it in theirs which we wouldn't notice but sure make a difference.
