Pepper Idli Recipe - Leftover Idli Recipes

I tasted this idli in salem “Lakshmi hotel” .It was served with onion raita. As my husband is fond of pepper recipes , we ordered this recipe to try. It was very simple and yet very tasty. Though the idlies are not deep fried , i felt it was too oily.. I tried the same recipe at home with moderate quantity of oil and it was a success .. If u have left over idli batter at home , u can try this recipe.This recipe is a nice replacement for kaima idli and chilli idli..If u r a pepper lover,do try this .. U’ll love its flavour for sure .. Even if u can’t make kutty idlies , u can use the left over idli by cutting them into bite sized cubes and try the same.Recently my MIL told me after reading a magazine that eating 10 pepper corns per day helps better digestion , prevents stroke & heart attack.. So friends lets try to eat the whole pepper corns in ven pongal and include more pepper powder in our cooking
