Leftover idlis can be turned into these yummy roasted masala idlis for a quick evening snack. I have shared a couple of recipes of how leftover idlis can be put to use either by roasting them, turning them into a Manchurian or by making an upma of them. Posting the recipe today which my friend Rita Vaz shared with me of how she roasts them with masala.

- 1/4 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/4 tsp Hing/ asafoetida
- 10 curry leaves

- 1/2 cup coriander leaves chopped
Method:
- Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds. When they start to sputter add cumin, asafoetida and curry leaves.
