Masala Idli fry- in tango taste

Updated: Apr 18, 2022

(Wersja polska napisana poniżej:)

Masala Idli made out with leftover or the fresh one Idli. Masala Idli is always an option for some spice in simple Idli . So, I made an easy solution to it. I cooked a delicious and healthy breakfast or evening snacks recipe with Idlis or Fried masala Idli.

Basically, Idli is a savory rice cake, originating from south India. The cakes are made by steaming a batter consisting of fermented black lentils called Urad and rice.

Now, there are lot of recipes for making instant Idli with semolina too. It can be paired with Coconut chutney, Sambar. But believe me, you can eat without any side dish.

Masala = Spice

Super quick and tastier snacks ever.


Yield – 1 serving

Timing – 20 min

Prep time – 15 min

Total- 35 min


Ingredients:

Idli- Approx. 5 pcs, cut into small pieces

Oil- 4 tbsp

Mustard seeds- ½ tsp

Dry curry leaves- 7-8

Onion- 1 medium, finely chopped

Green Chili- 2 nos., finely chopped

Salt to taste

Tomato- 1 large, finely chopped

Turmeric powder- ¼ tsp

Red chili powder- 1 tsp

Pav bhaji masala- 1 tsp

Spring onion- handful, finely chopped

Fresh coriander leaves- handful, finely chopped

Slice of lemon juice- 1 tbsp

Water- ¼ cup

Method:

Heat oil in a non-stick pan or wok. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter, add dry curry leaves, if you have fresh one, then you can use that fresh leave. I have dry leaves so I am using it. Add onion, green chili, and sauté till golden brown. Add salt to taste, again sauté it for a while. Add tomato and sauté till soft and pulpy. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder and mix well. Then, add Pav bhaji masala to enhance the taste, stir it properly. Add ¼ cup of water, mix and cook for next 1 minutes.

Add spring onion greens and coriander leaves and give it a good mix.


Further, add small pieces of Idli and mix well. Lastly, add a few drops of lemon juice to it. Sauté it for a minute and serve hot garnished with coriander leaves!


Note - this is leftover Idli masala, so better finish it soon.

Store- Store it in a refrigerator for the next 2 days. It’s a breakfast recipe and a snack. It can be cooked with leftover Idli too.
