Chilli idli from left over idlis!

@idhayaskitchen

I used to make idlis at least twice in a week. Idli’s freeze well too. So even if I make some extra idlis I will freeze them for making chilli idlis later. Usually for chilli idlis they are fried but I try to avoid frying the idlis so instead I bake them. It is good as a snack with a hot tea/coffee. Can be made as an appetizer for parties as well.
