• Add the chili pdr, coriander pdr, garam masala, and salt and add some water and allow it to boil. 
• When the gravy thickens add the capsicum and the fried idli and simmer it for two minutes and finish it up with coriander leaves. 

Tips:

1. Refrigerate the idlies for a couple of hours before frying. This will make the frying easy and also the idlies won't drink up the oil. 
2. The gravy should have a little water before adding the idlies. This way the idlies will not be dry. 
3. If not using ketchup add some sugar to get that little hint of sweetness. 
4. This dish is best served hot. The idlies will be crunchy and also saucy.
