Tawa Idli Fry #wm2 - Tawa idli is a popular Indian street food, found especially in Hyderabad and Mumbai. So dish out this amazing dish with some leftover or fresh idlis. It is typically cooked on a tawa, hence the name. Basic ingredients like butter, onion, green chilies and curry leaves are needed. However, the star ingredients are the idli podi and the butter that adds a distinct flavour to this dish and takes it to the next level
