Tawa idli
Method:
  • Cook the idlis and keep it aside. Left over idlis will be perfect for this recipe. But if you have fresh idlis, just keep it covered in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Cut them into cubes. Finely chop the onions and tomatoes.
  • In a pan add butter. You can use oil too, but butter gives a fantastic flavour to the tawa idli.
  • Add the finely chopped onions to this. Saute till the onions turn pink.

Tawa idli recipe
Notes:
  1. You can add green peas and carrots to this masala. 
  2. Pav bhaji masala gives a nice flavour to the tawa idli, so do not skip or replace with any other masala.
  3. Add little more red chili powder if you want the idlis more spicy. I made this mild spicy. 
  4. You can add few chopped green chilis in the beginning to make tawa idli more spicy.
