Podi idli recipe with step by step pictures 


               Podi idli is a south-indian breakfast recipe.  Idli is the most common breakfast in tamilnadu.  It can be served with chutneys and sambar.  It tastes good with idli podi which can be made with some dry roasted dal.  It can be mixed with sesame oil or ghee.  This pidi idli is made by tossing the idlis with podi and some tempering.  It tastes delicious.  It doesn't need any sidedish.  If you wish,  you can serve it with Coconut fried gram chutney  or Coconut chutney.  

            I have made it using mini idlis.  You can use the normal idlis by cutting into cubes.  Hope you like it.  Check out the recipe below with step by step pictures.
