Masala Idli

Masala idli is a tasty stuffed idli recipe.

Idli is one of the most common breakfasts in our home, but eating the same plain Idli every time is quite boring(for me!!). Inspired from Masala Dosai, in which masala is stuffed in dosai, tried stuffing mixed veg masala into idli. This is a simple dish yet tastes delicious.
