Idli chaat is an interesting combination of South Indian idlis and North Indian chaat.
Idli Chaat is an excellent snack made with leftover idlis. After having idlis for breakfast, I had a few left. Coincidentally, I also had green chutney and tamarind (sweet) chutney in the refrigerator. So, these leftover idlis got made into a delicious chaat for the evening snack. It tastes as delicious as any other chaat. Here goes the recipe for Idli chaat:
