STIR FRIED MASALA IDLI

                                    STIR FRIED MASALA IDLI

                                 (Serves 2)

When you prepare Idli-Sambhar and you have leftover Idli then next day turn them into tasty colorful masala idli. It’s made by stir-frying different colored bell peppers and onion and then tossed with idlis and spiced up with rasam powder. Great way to spice up plain idli. Makes great breakfast as well as afternoon lunch. Makes great lunch box recipe for kids too.

INGREDIENTS:

·      8 leftover Idlis, cut into big chunks

·      2 T Oil

·      1 cup Red Bell Pepper, cut into big chunks

·      1 cup Green Bell Pepper, cut into big chunks

·      1 cup Purple Sweet Onion, cut into big chunks

·      ½ tsp. Mustard Seeds

·      ½ tsp. Cumin Seeds

·      7-8 Curry Leaves

·      Pinch Asafoetida

·      3-4 Green Chilies or as per taste, chopped

·      Salt as per taste (Note: idli contains salt so add accordingly)

·      1-2 tsp. Sugar or as per taste

·      1 tsp. Lemon Juice

·      1 T Rasam Powder (I use MTR brand)

·      2 T Coriander Chopped

LET’S COOK:

NOTE:  STIR-FRY VEGETABLES ON HIGH MEDIUM HEAT.

Heat oil in a pan on high-medium heat. Once oil is hot add mustard seeds and let them pop.

Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle little bit.

Add curry leaves, asafoetida and green chilies and stir-fry for few seconds Add onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes add red and green bell peppers and continue cooking until somewhat tender. (Do not overcook vegetables).

Add salt, sugar and lemon juice and mix well.

Add idli pieces and toss gently.

Sprinkle rasam powder and toss idli and veggies around to coat with rasam powder.

Garnish with chopped coriander.

Serve hot with Coconut Chutney. Actually I don’t need anything with this fried masala idli.

Enjoy...
