Manchurian Idli Recipe is a twisted version of the traditional South Indian idli.
Everyone loves idli, and in South India, it is a famous breakfast. But why always have the usual idli? Give your idli a new taste with this easy twist. In this Manchurian Idli Recipe, cooked idli is sautéed with onion and capsicum for a flavorful variation. Just like regular idli, I love this version too.
