They serve Idli (mini) with chutney and gunpowder perhaps. Quaintly, they also have Idli with Pasta Gravy. I was curious and tried to find out what it was. It is just that -- Pasta in tomato gravy! Imagine having idli with pasta in tomato gravy.
I am not a fan of fusion foods and I think this is the pits! Imagine having an idli and there you get bits of pasta in it! It is like you are in a classical music concert and suddenly you are hearing some western notes!
Idli Manchurian is again another abomination! Mind you, even my taste buds have been corrupted for a long time. These are interesting experiments.
Just came to know that Idli Vidli has an outlet in Malad too and they have a web site too at http://www.idlividli.com/.
How about Idli Pizza? My wife experimented with this, using idli batter and pizza topping.

You make thick pan cake of idli batter, top it with pizza topping and mozerella cheese and a dash of oregano, then place it in the microwave till the cheese melts.
My nephew whacked three pizzas easily!
Guru anna, Idli manchurian was new to me when I was offered for the first time a couple months ago....sounded absurd but tasted delicious. Who would have thought of it? huh!
