Idli fry is a yummy finger food that is made using left over idlis. Idlis generally tend to get a little dry and hard if they are left over night or for a few hrs after making and no one would want to have it as it loses it freshness. This can be served as an evening snack for kids with their milk or even as starters at any party or pot luck get together. Serve it as is with some chat masala sprinkled over it or you can also have the green chutney and tomato sauce as dip .

Note : If you want to prepare this idli fry as a starter for an evening party, prepare the idlis in the morning and keep them ready .
