Add the Chutneys

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Mini Idli Bhalla
- For extra creaminess, use full-fat yogurt and let it drain for a longer period.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder and salt to your preferred spice level.
- If you don't have tutti frutti, you can substitute with chopped nuts or pomegranate seeds for added crunch and visual appeal.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of cardamom powder or a few drops of rose water to the yogurt mixture.
