NOTES

1. I had these idlis in Murgan idli shop in Chennai ,it was yum but too much of oil and ghee .I have reduced oil and ghee..Thats the reason I am not able to tell you the quantity of oil and ghee .Adjust accordingly and enjoy.
2. Instead of using oil and ghee , you can use any one of these .
3. Be careful while adding chilli pwdr as molgapodi also has chilli .
4. Use Kashmiri chilli pwdr for more colour.
5. Instead of frying you can also temper it with mustards seeds + urad dal + curry leaves ,mix well and serve .
6. You can also use leftover idlis .
7. Sharing below the click of the idlis which I had in Chennai .You can see the oiliness.
