Servings2 plates
Ingredients
- 4 idli
- 1 cup idli sambar
- 2 tablespoon big onion finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon coriander leaves finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ghee
Instructions
- Take a ladle full and add it to the idly pan and steam it for 10-12mins.
- Sprinkle little water and carefully slide around the edges using a spoon to take the idlis. Now idlis are ready.
- Sambar should be hot now get ready with all other ingredients.
- Take 2 idlis in a plate.
- Pour sambar over it. Pour till the idlis are fully covered with sambar.
- Drizzle ghee.
- Now sprinkle chopped raw onion and coriander leaves.
- Serve Sambar Idli hot!
Notes
- Sambar should be neither thick nor runny, it should be in between.
- Make sure your sambar or idli is hot while making sambar idli so that the idlis easily absorb the sambar. Both are hot then bliss 😉
- The idlis should have porous texture so that it absorbs the sambar well. If they are smooth then it is not suitable for sambar idli. The idli batter should be slightly grainy to achieve this.
- You can use leftover idlis too.
