Idli Masala

This is a great way of having leftover idlis. All the additional spices and flavor from onion and tomatoes give a zing to the old idlis.  I had tried oats idli from mix to match blogspot by Anudivya. It was great, plus I was happy with including fiber in the meal. I always end up making anything more than we can attempt to finish. We had oat idlis and sambhar for dinner and next day for breakfast turned them into these yummy idli masala.
