Idli is a conventional breakfast dish in Southern Parts of India. Idli is a healthy dish too as we are steam cooking it without adding any oil. Though Idli is very healthy, many of the kids even adults doesn’t like to have Idli. So, to make the Idli more appetizing, we can make many varieties and variations and treat out kids and family. One such variety is Spicy Tava Idli. Cooked Idlis are tossed in tawa along with capsicum, onion, tomatoes, peas and spice powders that make the whole dish appealing and increase the appetite to have more servings!!!

Tips for making Spicy Tava Idli:

  1. We can use left over idli for this recipe. If you have fresh idli, allow it to cool for sometime before you cube them. If you use refrigerated left over idli, drop the idli in hot water and squeeze and take out immediately.
  2. Adding capsicum and peas is optional. We can exclude veggies or we can include more veggies like carrot, beans etc.
  3. If you don’t have Pav Bhaji masala, you can use regular garam masala.
  4. Add lemon juice once you switch off the flame.
