Idli Sambar Chili Masala Fry

on
Idli Sambar is one of my favorite South Indian dishes.  My kids love Idlis and I usually make Instant Rava & Oats Idli or Quinoa & Oats Idli at least once a week. But often I do have a lot of leftover Idlis on days to which I love making Idli Sambar Chili Masala Fry which is super quick and easy to make and yet delicious and tastes great without Sambar & Chutney.

Diced Idlis - 5 to 6 Idlis (Check out the recipe for Oats & Quinoa Idli)
Finely chopped onions - 1 tablespoon
Finely chopped tomatoes - 3 tablespoons

Coriander Powder - 1/2 teaspoon

Buttermilk Ranch

Method/Instructions:

  1. In a wide pan, heat oil on medium flame and add mustard seeds and Jeera and let it splutter and add hing and curry leaves and let it cook for 20 seconds. 
  2. Add ginger, garlic, turmeric powder, coriander powder, grated coconut, green chillis, and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
