Is It An Idli Vada Or Something Else?
Mohammed Futurewala (@MFuturewala) took to the social media platform ‘X’ to share a video where a street food vendor makes something new with idli and other ingredients. He called it “Idli that isn’t Idli” and we agree with him on this!

This food experiment video shows the entire process of preparing this new food item. To make this unique dish, the vendor takes an idli and adds some potato stuffing to it, and uses another idli to make it like a sandwich. Then, he dips them in a batter prepared with flour and some spices. He coats the idli potato sandwiches well and then deep fries them in hot oil. He serves this fusion fried idli recipe with sambar and chutney.
