Idly Manchurian

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

Idli Manchurian is another way to consume left over idlies apart from making Idly Upma. Since I want to avoid taking too much oil i am not frying the idly pieces but if using oil is okay then one can fry the idly pieces in oil.

Ingredients

8 Idlis (each idli cut into 4 pieces)

1 medium size onoin chopped
Ginger-Garlic paste
1 tablespoon Chilli sauce (or adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon soysauce
2 Tablespoons tomatosauce
2 Tablespoons Oil
1 teaspoon Paprika(mild chilli powder)
small bunch of spring onions chopped (white and green parts seperated)
salt to taste
Method

1) Spray 1 Tablespoon oil and paprika on idly pieces and bake in oven at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 mins

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

4) Garnish with spring onions and serve hot.

I am sure kids will love this and also people who feel bored to eat Idly always. It is not very tough to make if you have all the sauces ready.
