Paneer Stuffed fried Idlis with red chili sauce

From North to south, from East to west, India has got variety of taste. North Indian cuisine is famous for stuffing, gravies and lots of makhan and ghee, In South use of spices and rice moderation recipes can be seen, West Indian cuisines filled with lots of roasting, frying and all those tadkas, whereas in East India simplicity is the key included steaming and frying with different kind of sauces. Curiosity deepens here, what if we mingle all these cuisine making techniques from different zones and you never know what taste you will get. That's what I did here. I took idli from south, filled it with punjabi paneer stuffing, fried it like they did in gujrat, and serve it with red-hot chili sauce from east.And see what I got.

Fusion dish : a perfect blend of North South East West India.
