I have used leftover Rice idli but you can use pretty much any leftover idlis. Oats idli, Ragi Idli, Masala Idli, Rava idli all work fine.
Other than watery vegetables like capsicum you can use any vegetable of your choice. Some of them are beetroots, grated potatoes, finely shredded cabbage etc.
To add protein you can add grated paneer or tofu as well.
This is a good recipe for using idlis. So even if your idli has turned hard after making just crumble the hard idli and make Tikki with this recipe.
