OR follow this alternate method.ie Make a thick batter using maida,corn flour and spice powders and dip the idli pieces,deep fry in oil immediately.

Note
- You can deep fry the idli pieces instead of shallow frying.I felt shallow frying patiently gives great results than deep frying.Deep fried idlis absorb more oil.Calorie conscious people can go for baking option.
- You can also add the idli pieces as such instead of frying them.
- Adjust the quantity of chilli powder,pepper powder and green chilli sauce as per your taste buds.
