2) Heat remaining oil in a pan, add ginger-garlic paste and fry for couple of mins and then add chopped onions and fry until they turn transparent

3) Add chilli-soy-tomato sauce and salt. make sure not to add much salt since Idly itself will have salt already. Fry for 3 to 4 mins and then add baked Idlies and fry for another 2 to 3 mins
