#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. I added some curry leaf powder. However, you may use any idli podi of your choice.

It is a very quick and a simple snack item to satiate your hunger pangs. It can also be enjoyed as a tea time snack, for your weekend breakfast with coconut chutney or packed for a lunch box meal / picnic meal.
