Take the leftover idlis and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, chana dal, urad dal, hing, and curry leaves. Allow them to sizzle and pop.
Next, add all the spices and the cut idlis. Cook this mixture for a few minutes until it's well combined and heated.
Place the masala idlis in a serving bowl, then top them with sweetened curd, tamarind chutney, green chutney, chaat masala, pomegranate seeds, sev, and fresh coriander leaves.
This isn’t something you’ll actually find on the street but it takes these super-quick crisp baby spinach pakoras and mixes them with typical yoghurt chaat style ingredients.
They had a strange crunch to them that I soon figured out was fried lentils (in this case white urad dhal) so I have added these and a little more right at the end as peanuts, but if you don’t fancy them then just leave them out.
Serve with greens, half a lemon and the Dijon mustard-yogurt sauce (For the sauce; sauté the garlic, let it cool and mix with whisked yogurt, remaining half of the Dijon mustard, coriander, mayonnaise and lemon juice, check for seasoning).
