Masala Idli Tit-Bits With Veggies Recipe

The Masala Idli Tit-bits with Veggies is a perfect recipe for utilizing left-over idlis. It can be served either as a healthy munching snack or delicious breakfast dish. You can pack this dish for your kid’s tiffin as well.

Like my other recipes, this one is also a simple to prepare yet healthy and delicious to eat recipe. I have added vegetables like carrot and capsicum to make this dish more nutritious. It has south indian flavor (imparted by curry leaves and sambhar masala powder ) with a touch of chinese cuisine ( owing to the presence of garlic, soya sauce, vinegar and red chilli sauce).

All of us at home, relish this dish a lot. Now, I purposely cook extra idlis so that they can be futher utilized for this particular recipe 🙂
