Pin I usually make a simple version in dosa tawa itself..heat oil, add idli podi along with cut idli cubes toast and serve hot.But this is the version amma makes and I love it too…this is inbetween idli upma and idli podi toast.
About Podi Idli
Podi idli is so tasty and a comforting food made with leftover idlis. I have always wondered how our elders turn even the leftovers to such tasty snack and avoid food wastage.So I have also stuck to this rule of no food wastage as far as I can. So sometimes I intentionally make more idlis just to make this as I love it so much.

Expert Tips
Our recipe of idli podi is less spicy so I usually add a tablespoon, but if you are using store bought then use little less as it may be spicy…adjust accordingly.Adding veggies is purely optional but since I planned for kids lunch box menu I wanted to make it wholesome so added them.Be creative and use corn,peas or any other veggie of your choice.Gingelly oil is good for health so be generous in adding.You can replace it with coconut oil.Make sure your idlis are slightly porous so that it absorbs the podi well.So use the first batch of idli batter for best results.You can even add peanuts or almonds replacing cashews.If you dont have mini idli mould, you can even make regular idlis, cube them and use it.
