Schezwan Idli
I love basic idli fry and I love it so much that I whenever I make idli I make some extra so as to enjoy them later. This time I gave a Chinese makeover to the leftover idlis and all I can say is that is so very perfect for monsoons -spicy, tangy and hot:-) I made schezwan sauce months back and it was one of my popular post. I use the same sauce to make this dish and yummy is word. This is quick party snack and will be enjoyed by everyone. I will quickly move to the recipe.
