Notes

  • I have used leftover Rice idli but you can use pretty much any leftover idlis. Oats idli, Ragi Idli, Masala Idli, Rava idli all work fine. 
  • Other than watery vegetables like capsicum you can use any vegetable of your choice. Some of them are beetroots, grated potatoes, finely shredded cabbage etc. 
  • To add protein you can add grated paneer or tofu as well. 
  • This is a good recipe for using idlis. So even if your idli has turned hard after making just crumble the hard idli and make Tikki with this recipe.
