I had visited my aunt's home recently and her cook offered me 'bread idli'. I wasn't hungry but i was intrigued by the name and the description she provided, so i decided to give it a try. The dish is nowhere close to what an idli looks or tastes like, but it tastes super and uses bread, one of my favorite foods. I made it at home recently and it turned out pretty awesome so i went ahead and took pictures to share here with you.
You could make it for breakfast or an anytime snack.
