Ingredients

4 cups idli batter

1 tbsp flour (maida)

1-2 tbsp cilantro (coriander leaves), finely chopped

1/2 tsp red chilli powder or 1 green chilli, finely chopped (adjust to taste)

Salt to taste

1 tsp Astofodia

Vegetable oil for deep-frying

Preparation

Heat the the oil for deep-frying, preferably in a medium or large pan, so you can fry larger batches of the fritters to save time.

In a bowl, mix the idli batter with the flour, chillies or chilli powder, salt, and cilantro.

Take a tablespoon, and drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil and fry until golden. Drain excess oil on a paper towel and serve the idli-batter fritters plain or with a chutney of your choice and a cup of hot tea or coffee.
