## Notes

* you can also shallow fry if you do not wish to deep fry it.

* you can use the same batter for gobi, or even mushroom pakoras.

* optionally, you can also use freshly prepared idlis, but just that bring them to room temperature.

* i have used **[idli prepared with idli rava](/recipes/how-to-make-soft-idli-wet-grinder)**, however; you can use any leftover idlis.
