METHOD
- Refrigerate the leftover idlis in a box overnight or 2 hours.(Do not freeze).Cube cut them into big pieces.Deep fry the idli cubes till golden brown in medium flame for long time.Idlis would remain crispy till u serve.(Refer notes for more)Set aside.
- Heat a kadai with a tbsp of oil . Saute the onions ,green chilli pieces , garlic flakes and capsicum. Saute well till capsicum gets cooked. Then add the ketchup , red chilli 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 spring onions or coriander leaves. Garnish it and switch off the flame.
- Serve hot with onion raita !!
NOTE
-
To get super crispy idli pieces,deep fry in medium high flame for more time.It stays crispy for long time.Refrigerating the idli helps to cut it without crumbs.Do not freeze it at any cost.
-
If u are calorie conscious,u can shallow fry them in a pan adding little oil OR saute them in dosa pan by drizzling oil around it.The below picture is chilli idli made using shallow fried idlis.But when u shallow fry,it may become slightly soggy while u eat.

beautiful click chitra...even i had done this long back,urs look very delicious as well...
wow looks lovely,such a lovely colour and great click dear:)
My mother used to slice the idli in half and fill it with potato curry ( like the masala dosa filling), press the other half on top of the curry and shallow fry on a pan, till it got slightly brown. And we would eat it with sauce. This was a great way to finish left over idlis. But your recipe is rather novel. Interesting.
