Few days back, I saw a very interesting street food idli dish in social media. The colour and the texture of the dish was so impressive that I tried immediately at home. It was very delicious. I could not guess the sauces that were added and it was also not mentioned in that video. So, I conceived my own recipe to recreate the colour and texture that I perceived from the video. The most impressive part of that dish was the amount of vegetables added into that dish, which I followed diligently.
I was extremely happy with the result and the riot of colours in that dish was beautiful, indeed a visual treat. It was really yummy. And my family loved it too.
I am very excited to share with you all this very vibrant, colourful, healthy and wholesome street food style Idli Fry.
