Idli seeralam recipe, How to make idli seeralam

Idli seeralam is a spicy dish prepared by tossing cubed idli in tempered onion mixture. Idli seeralam can be prepared with fresh or left over idli. I was reminded of this recipe by my mom last week as she prepared it the day she called me. This recipe is again my grandma’s recipe and is still a popular dish at our home. Idli seeralam is a quick fix when you are bored of regular chutney and sambar and if you wish to try something new. Idli seeralam requires no side accompany. So lets get to the making!
