Yes! Regular idlis work just as well. Millet adds extra fiber and nuttiness, but it’s optional.

Grated processed cheese melts beautifully, but you can also use mozzarella or cheddar for extra pull.

Yes, you can replace cowpeas with cooked chickpeas, sweet corn, or even green peas for variation.

Neer chutney is ideal! But coconut, mint, or tomato chutney also pair well with the cheesy twist.

Reduce the green chili, and use more cheese! You can even toss in sweet corn and a sprinkle of pizza seasoning.
