Ingredients

  • 20 nos mini idlis
  • 1 tablespoon idli podi 1 idli podi2
  • 2 tablespoon onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
  • 2 tablespoon carrot finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon capsicum
  • 1 tablespoon gingelly oil
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoon coriander leaves
  • 5 nos cashews broken
  • salt to taste

To temper

  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • a small sprig curry leaves

Instructions

  • Pour idli batter into the mini idli mould and steam it for 8-10mins. My mini idli steamer has cloth so I use it which gives more softer idlis.You can just pour it directly into the mould too.
  • In a mixing bowl add the idlis, drizzle gingelly oil and idli podi, mix well and set aside.In a kadai heat oil - add mustard seeds and curry leaves let it splutter.
  • Add onion,ginger garlic paste and saute for few mins till onions turn golden brown.Add carrot and capsicum.
  • Saute for few mins till raw smell of the veggies leave, add required salt. Add the podi idlis and toss it well.Finally add coriander leaves and ghee fried cashews.Give a quick stir and switch off.
  • Serve warm!

Notes

  • Our recipe of idli podi is less spicy so I usually add a tablespoon, but if you are using store bought then use little less as it may be spicy...adjust accordingly.
  • Adding veggies is purely optional but since I planned for kids lunch box menu I wanted to make it wholesome so added them.Be creative and use corn,peas or any other veggie of your choice.
  • Gingelly oil is good for health so be generous in adding.You can replace it with coconut oil.
  • Make sure your idlis are slightly porous so that it absorbs the podi well.So use the first batch of idli batter for best results.
  • You can even add peanuts or almonds replacing cashews.
  • If you dont have mini idli mould, you can even make regular idlis, cube them and use it.
