Kaima Idli - Saravana Bhavan special!

I havent even heard about this kaima idli till I saw it in Lavis blog. So wanted to give a try, I followed the recipe with no major change, hmm I just omitted deep frying.

Ingredients:

Left Over Idli's: 3

Onion - 1

Tomato - 1/2

Garlic - 3 pods

Green Chilies - 1

Green Capsicum - 1/2

Curry Leaves - 5 to 6

CorrianderLeaves - 2tsp

[Dont search in mine, my stock got over so didnt use it ;)]

Oil - 2 tbsp

Chilly Powder - 1/2 tsp [Adjust according to your spice level]

Salt to taste

Lemon juice - 1 tbsp

Finely chop onion, tomato, garlic, capsicum, greenchillies and coriander leaves.

Method:

1.Cut the idli's into small cubes and saute them in oil till it becomes light brown and keep it aside. You can also deep fry the idlies which is what the orginal recipe says.

2.Drizzle oil in a pan, add mustard and allow it to splutter. Add onions,then garlic, curry leaves and saute well.

3.Add tomatoes and saute it well, so that its mashy with onions, add salt, turmeric powder and mix well.Now add capsicum, saute them well and add chilli powder. Keep stirring continuosly till its combined well.

4.Add the idlies, mix well till it combines well with all masalas.Garnish with corriander leaves, sprinkle lemon juice over the kaima idli's.

5.Serve these spicy kaima idlis with onion patchadi.

I did reserve only 3 idlis this time and the kaima idlis finished off in no time!
