ABOUT Chilly Idly RECIPE

Its a saucy and tastes yum. One cannot find out plain tastes of idly. I usually prefer making these chilly idlies with left over breakfast idlies. Saves preparation time as well. Making with fresh soft idlies are not recommended. May be idly can be prepared cooled down completly and store it in refridgerator for about half an hour to get idly with left over texture. I have mentioned about making red chilly sauce, can also used ready made chings brand schezwan red chilly chutney.
