Masala Idli is a flavorful South Indian dish made by tossing soft, steamed idlis (fermented rice and lentil cakes) with a spiced vegetable mixture. The masala typically includes onions, tomatoes, curry leaves, mustard seeds, and a blend of Indian spices such as turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder, often enhanced with fresh cilantro. This dish is a creative way to use leftover idlis and transform them into a vibrant, nutritionally balanced meal. Packed with protein from the lentils and fiber from the vegetables, Masala Idli offers sustained energy and aids digestion thanks to its fermented base. While it’s generally a healthy option, minimal use of oil and moderation in spice levels can further enhance its nutritional value. Served as a breakfast, snack, or light meal, Masala Idli epitomizes the wholesome flavors of South Indian cuisine.
