    Mini Idli Sambar Recipe

    I bought mini idly pan ages ago, but believe it or not i have not used it even once. Couple days back, when i was organising my cupboard, i found these cute little moulds. Immediately took it out and made this beauties..I have plans to make so many mini idli recipes using that like pepper idly, chilli idly, podi idli and stuffs like that..Will share all those in the coming sessions.

    GHEE over soft mini idlies and piping hot sambar is like heaven. Love it to the core..This has become my hubby's favorite. So try this out and let me know how it turned out for you. In the mean time check out my kaima idly recipe and chilli idly recipe.
