Prepartion:

Take the 4 idlis (either fresh or left over) and cut into lenghtwise  pieces.
Take a bowl, add the maida, rice flour, chilli powder, hing powder and salt
and mix well.  Add little water and make a batter (like a bajji batter)
Soak the cut idlies into this batter and allow for 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile heat oil in a pan, and once hot, add each piece of this idli
into the oil and deep fry till it becomes crispy.  Remove from fire and
serve with tomato sauce and  Ginger chutney.

Another variation:  in the batter, you can grind coriander leaves, green chillies
and mix with batter instead of red chilli powder and hing.
