2. mix maida,cornflour,(1;1/4),gingergarlicpaste(for 5 idlis 1spn)and 1spn chilli powder(just to add color).dip the idlis in this paste and deep fry it.
making gravy:
1.heat oil,season it .add 1 spn gg paste,saute it .add 1greenchilli(just for aroma),then add 1onion.after saute add 1 0r 2tomatoes.saute it well .add 1spn garam masala,1spn chilli powder,1spn jeera powder or chicken masala(i use aachi chicken masala).saute it nicely .add fried idli and little water(just for making wet,otherwise after masala coating ,it will be dry)mix it well .
