Chilli Idli


Ingredients:

  • Idli - 8
  • Onion - 1
  • Tomato - 2
  • Ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp
  • Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Chilli powder - 2 tbsp
  • Capsicum -1 and half
  • Carrot - 1
  • Salt
  • Oil

Preparation:

Prepare idlis using idli batter and keep it in the fridge for 20 mins. Cooling the idlis will keep the idli pieces intact when fried.

In a pan, add oil and allow the jeera seeds to splutter. Then, add chopped onions and ginger garlic paste and saute for 5 minutes.

Then, add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, chopped carrots, salt and chilli powder and saute until the carrots are half cooked. To that, add chopped capsicum and saute for 10 minutes.

In a separate pan, add 3 tbsp of oil and fry the chopped idlis. Tip: Deep frying the idlis will enhance the taste. Add fried idlis to the vegetable mixture and mix well.

Serve hot with raita.
