    Idli powder or idli podi - mix of lentils, red chillies and spices, tastes best with idlies and dosa varieties. This idli powder is everyone's favorite (especially kids) at our family as its so flavorful and tasty. Though we prepare variety of chutneys, sambar and side dish for idli & dosa, we all end up eating our last idli/dosa with this idli powder. It can be given to kids after two years once they started eating little spicy foods and joined eating with the family. Make sure to adjust the red chillies according to your child's tolerance level.

    Here is how to make idli powder or idli podi recipe for toddlers and kids.
