CHILLI IDLI

I took this recipe from a website. U all would have tried  chilly paratha , chilly Paneer , Gobi etc..This one is a very tasty , kids friendly dish  that can be prepared easily. Yesterday i tried this for dinner along with idly and kadappa.I used only 5 idlies for this.  Here is the recipe with a picture ,

Ingredients :

• Idly – 5 nos (cut into cubes )
• Big onion – 1 no (chopped finely)
• Capsicum – 1/2 no (-do-)
• Green chilly – 1 no (Chopped finely )
• Garlic flakes – a few (finely chopped )
• Red chilly powder – 1/2 tsp (increase  as per ur taste buds) (use Kashmiri chilly powder for nice color)
• Garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp
• Tomato ketchup -  1 – 2 tbsp
• Curry  leaves – a sprig
• Coriander leaves – to garnish
• Oil – To deep fry the idlies.
• Water – Just to sprinkle

Method :

• Cube cut idlies into big pieces.Deep fry the idly cubes till golden brown.set aside.
• Heat a kadai with a tbsp of oil . Saute the onions , chilly pieces , garlic flakes and capsicum.
• Saute well till capsicum gets cooked.
• Then add the ketchup , red chilly powder, garam masala powder and mix well. Add little water to bring it to saucy consistency.
• Finally add the deep fried idly pieces and toss it well.Add curry leaves & coriander leaves.
• Garnish it and switch off the flame.
• Serve hot with onion raita !!

Variations :

• I dint deep fry the idly pieces instead i shallow fried it till golden brown.
• I dint have stock of coriander leaves .so i used curry leaves.But use coriander leaves or spring onions to garnish.It will enhance the  flavor.
