the other day I made idli for breakfast which is a regular affair for us south indians, i thought the best way to use the leftover idlis would be to fry them and make a nice snack in the evening, as some friends were coming over. So this is what i did....

6. mustard seeds-------------------------1\4 tsp
7. salt-------------------------------------to taste
8. oil--------------------------------------1 tbsp
9. garam masala--------------------------1 pinch
10.lime juice------------------------------1 tsp
