Ingredients to make fried idlis:

6-7 leftover idlis
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rice flour
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
Salt to taste
Water as required
Oil for frying
Coriander leaves for garnishing
Tomato Ketchup or any other dip for serving (optional)

Instructions to make fried idlis:

Cut the leftover idlis into small cubes of about 1 inch each.
In a bowl, add all-purpose flour, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix them well.
Add water gradually to the bowl and mix it until it forms a smooth batter. Also, make sure that the batter is not too thick or too thin.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai.
Dip the idli cubes into the batter also ensuring that they are coated evenly.
Drop the coated idlis into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown.
Once they are fried, remove them from the oil and place them on a tissue paper to absorb any excess oil.
Garnish the Fried Idlis with chopped coriander leaves and serve them hot with tomato ketchup or any other dip of your choice.

Tips:

You can adjust the amount of spices as per your taste preferences.
Make sure that the oil is hot enough before frying the idlis. Also, the oil should not be too hot, as it can burn the coating.
If the batter becomes too thick, add a little water to it.
Do not overcrowd the frying pan with too many idlis at once, as it can lower the temperature of the oil and result in soggy idlis.
You can also use leftover dosas or uttapams instead of idlis.
