Side dish recipe for idli and Dosa. Today’s post is, five instant side dish recipes that go well with idli and dosa. I usually make these kinds of side dishes only when the main dish has sufficient nutrients like veg paniyaram, veg idli, egg dosa, avocado chapati and so on. I don’t recommend these chutneys with plain dosa and idli.
Idly podi is also a perfect instant side dish for idly and dosa. Please check the recipe for Kollu idli podi here.
