I used to order Kaima idli whenever I visit Saravana bhavan. This is one of my husband’s favourite dish too. I seldom do it at home because of deep frying. But recently when I was in India My mum made it with left over idli. Kids loved it. So wanted to make it again. I have grinded the Onion but you can fry it before adding tomato puree / paste. Kids for sure will enjoy it
