Take a bowl and add all the masala powders and pour little water (1-2 tbsp) to make a paste.
Cut each idli into 4 pieces. It is always better to refrigerate the idli for a few hours before you fry them so that they don’t break in oil while frying. Marinate the idli pieces in the masala.
Heat oil in a pan. If you don’t want to shallow fry then you can also deep fry the idlis. Don’t make the fries too brown. They should be crisp from outside and soft from inside.
Serve the Idli Fry with sambar or coconut chutney or tomato sauce.
