Idli Chilly Fry

One of the best ways to make use of left over Idlis!

This has been a rather busy weekend. Finally ran out of all groceries and had intense stocking to do!

One of my favorite activities for weekend is preparing a nice afternoon snack for my husband. He is my devoted lab rat and love experimenting on him! Jokes apart, he overworks during weekday and I love to pamper him during weekends. I ran out of all vegetable supply and had to make best with what was available in the fridge. I had Idlis left over from yesterday dinner and was just about to prepare Idli Upma, when I changed the direction. This is a quick snack and quite delicious!

Let’s get right to it!
