All you need for this recipe are a day old idlis. If you want to know what they are or how to make them, check out this easy recipe. I found that its better when they are out in the fridge for a long time or in the freezer for some time. This will help in keeping them intact while frying in the oil.

1. Cut the old idlis to straight pieces.
2. Take oil enough to shallow fry the idlis. This will not deep fry them but enough to roast them. For four idlies I took 8 tablespoons of oil.
3. Now add the cut idlis one by one and let them stay till they are brown both the sides.
4. Now top it off with some chaat masala/pav bhaji masala.
5. For the side I love the mint chutney mixed with curd/yogurt. I think mint by itself is very over powering but add a spoon of mint chutney to 2 table spoons of curd/yogurt. This will make it taste amazing.
6. I kept things simple with off the shelf mint chutney and ketchup. After all this is a snack!

Its as simple as that. Try them out and let me know how it went!
