It is important that the idlis are refrigerated or a day old. Because if fresh idli is fried it will break in the oil. Even they will absorb more oil. Fresh idlis even stick to each other while frying.

It is always better to refrigerate the idlis for few hours before frying so that they do not break while frying. If you don’t want to deep fry the idlis then they can be shallow fried also.

While frying the idlis remove small pieces first because they get fried earlier.
