Restaurant-style idli Manchurian

It is a tasty restaurant-style dish. Crispy idli in Chinese style is super addictive. Makes a great appetizer. The perfect way to finish idli.

Tips to use idli

Always use room temperature idli. Avoid hot or ice-cold ones
Avoid cutting into big pieces as it might drink oil
Avoid adding any add-ons while frying idli

Can I bake idli

Yes, you can bake idli but deep-fried idli gives the best restaurant-style taste.

Can I fry advance and mix before serving

Idli Manchurian tastes best when consumed immediately. Avoid keeping it for a long time.

Is it Spicy

I used green chili, chilli sauce, and a little pepper but ketchup and the amount of idli doesn't make it spicy.
