Masala Idli Recipe, How to Make Masala Idli, Spicy Masala Idli snack

Masala Idli Recipe is one of the spicy Indian evening snacks which are prepared from leftover idli and ground Indian spices.

If you are planning to make this recipe for breakfast and you are in a hurry you can skip adding tomatoes and capsicum which I pointed as optional. Adding them gives you an additional flavor. This can be prepared in less than 15 minutes.

You can adjust garam masala, red chili powder and salt based on your taste and climate to make Spicy Masala Idli snack. During the rainy season, I love to have spicy. If you like to have a bit crunchy you can sauté idli with a little oil in a pan until they turn a golden brown color.
