Chilli Idli makes an awesome lunch box recipe for kids. Chilli idli fry is an Indo Chinese style of cooking up the left over idlis if you have at home. Sometimes I make idlis fresh and make this for my kids lunch box. It’s a dry preparation and does not involve any deep frying, so it will not become greasy and mushy when you pack for the kids. The idlis will hold their shape very well despite cooking in the sauces. You can also have this for your
Breakfast or Dinner as it will not be very heavy on your stomach or prepare this for the
evening tiffin.
My kids do not prefer eating idlis as it is when I pack them with a chutney. So apart from making
Idli Upma, I make this for them. I do recommend that you check out the idli upma recipe as well as it also stays soft and fluffy till lunch time when packed in the box.
