To the same pan, add another 1 tablespoon of oil.  Heat the pan on a medium flame.  Once hot, add chopped onions, garlic cloves, ginger and green chillies.  Saute on medium flame for a minute. Add chopped capsicum and saute on medium flame for another 1-2 minutes.  Keep stirring occasionally. (Do not overcook and let onions and capsicums retain their crispiness).  Then add red chilli sauce, tomato sauce, soya sauce and vinegar. Mix all the ingredients well.  Now add the sautéed idlis and give a good toss.  Sprinkle little salt and mix well.   Cook on a low flame for a minute.  Switch off the flame. Serve chilli idli immediately. NOTES/TIPS You can also deep-fry the idlis instead of shallow frying them. Add salt carefully, as the sauces already has enough salt in it. Always serve chilli idli immediately, as they tend to become soggy after some time. Garnish with chopped spring onion greens and serve. If you have fresh idlis, refrigerate them for half an hour and then deep fry them. This way, the idlis will not crumble while frying them.
