Not every meal starts with planning. Some start with opening the fridge after a long day and figuring out what can be rescued quickly. Leftover idlis often fall into that category. They are filling, familiar, and easy - just not exciting anymore.
With the right masala and five minutes on the stove, that changes completely.
Because idlis don’t need to be thrown away or force eaten. With a hot pan, some ghee, and bold Andhra flavours, they can turn into something spicy, comforting, and honestly much more fun than their original avatar.
This Andhra style masala idli does exactly that. It takes leftover idlis and coats them in a rich, spicy masala made using CURRYiT Andhra Mutton Curry Paste, giving you a dish that feels freshly cooked rather than reheated.
Andhra flavours are unapologetically bold. They are spicy, aromatic, and deeply satisfying, especially when paired with something soft that can soak it all up. Idlis do that beautifully. They absorb the masala without turning mushy, making every bite warm, spicy, and comforting.
The best part is that this recipe doesn’t ask for an endless list of spices or complicated prep. One paste brings the depth, heat, and authenticity that would otherwise take much longer to build.
Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat
Add mustard seeds and let them splutter
Add a handful of curry leaves and fry until crisp
Spoon in CURRYiT Andhra Mutton Curry Paste and add a small splash of water
Let the masala simmer until thick, glossy, and fragrant
Add the idli pieces to the pan
Gently toss so the masala coats the idlis evenly without breaking them
Cook for one to two minutes until everything comes together
Garnish with fried curry leaves and serve hot
This is the kind of dish that works on busy weekdays, lazy weekends, or evenings when cooking feels like effort but ordering in feels unnecessary. It is quick, deeply flavourful, and uses what is already in the fridge.
Using CURRYiT Andhra Mutton Curry Paste means the flavours stay authentic without cutting corners. There are no preservatives, no artificial taste, just real Andhra style spice that brings a simple dish back to life.
If idlis have been sitting ignored in the fridge, this recipe is your sign. A few minutes on the stove can turn them into something spicy, satisfying, and worth looking forward to.
