I use:

Idlis
Fresh Curd / Yogurt
Chaat masala
Red chilli powder
Salt
Coriander leaves to garnish

  1.  Whisk the curd with salt and keep aside.
  2. Cube/ cut the idli into wedges.
  3. Arrange the idli pieces on a serving tray.
  4. Spoon out the curd over the idlis.
  5. Sprinkle chaat masala and red chilli powder
  6. Serve garnished with coriander leaves.

Note:

  • You can also use left over idlis. Heat them in a microwave/ steam again in a idli cooker.
  • Chaat masala and red chilli powder can be whisked into the curd along with salt.
  • The curd mixture can also be seasoned with mustard, cumin seeds and curry leaves and then poured over the idli.
