Idli French Fries
Inspired by Ranveer Brar’s deep-fried idli French fries, this is my lighter air-fried version — crisp on the outside, soft inside, and perfect with garlic chutney. A simple way to turn leftover or fresh idlis into a fun snack that feels familiar but different.

Ippitizer Note
This recipe is inspired by Ranveer Brar’s deep-fried idli French fries, but this version is made in the air fryer for a lighter twist.
Tips
- Slightly firm or day-old idlis work best because they hold their shape better.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
- Pair it with garlic chutney for maximum flavour.
