Podi Idli is a flavorful and spicy variation of the classic idli. It is made by coating the idlis with a special spice powder called podi. The podi is made by roasting and grinding a combination of lentils, spices, and dried red chilies. The idlis are first steamed in the usual way and then tossed in the podi mixture. The podi coating adds a burst of flavors to the idlis, making them delicious and addictive. Podi idli is often served with coconut chutney or tomato chutney. It is a popular street food snack in South India and is also enjoyed as a breakfast or lunch option.
