Chilli Idly




















This post is for Idli lovers like me.

Idly - 8 nos
Green chillies -3 Onions - 1 finely chopped,Tomato paste- 2 tbsp,Ginger Garlic paste
Carrots, Cabbage - a few grated pieces ,All indian spice powders available in your pantry
Olive Oil

1.Make the idlies in the usual way.
2.Cut each idly into 4 quarters
3.Arrange them in a baking tray, lined with aluminum foil. (picture shown)
4.Drizzle Olive Oil over , so that the pieces get coated evenly
5. Pre-heat the commercial oven to 350 and then bake the idlies at 350 for 10 minutes and then briol at 450 for 5 minutes. This should give a crispy brown texture to the pieces

If you don't have the option of using a commercial oven, you can always deep fry the idlies and skip steps 3,4,5

6. Fry a little oil and fry mustard till it splutters. Add the green chillies, onions, ginger garlic paste and fry till done. add any vegetables - carrots, cabbage etc
7. Add some tomato ketchup. You can also add mashed tomatoes after removing the water.
8. I love corrainder. So I add a handful of it.
9. Add turmeric powder, chilli powder, garam masala, cumin powder.
10. Add a few drops of water and fry.
11. Now add the idlies from the oven and coat evenly and you are doneeeee
