Also known as Podi Idli or Tadka Idli, these mini masala idlis are cute, slightly spicy and very easy to eat as well as share.

Popularly known as Appe, the South Indian staple can be loaded with veggies and even some cheese to make it the perfect lunch box.
Slice a Medu Vada like a bagel, apply coconut chutney and add any fillings like shredded chicken, paneer, etc.
