Spicy chili Idli

Wanna make easy snacks for breakfast...?😋

Here is a tempting idea ……..Spicy chili is a idli is a delicious fusion between the Indian & Chinese flavor. Chili idli gives a spicy makeover to the plain leftover idlis & and good thing about this idli is a great option for party snacks & appetizers.

Chili idli can be prepared by using either the idli prepared by fermentation method or by instant idli. The process of making spicy chili idli is similar to chili paneer but idli pieces are used instead of paneer cubes.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut idlis into 4 pieces. I am using leftover idlis for making this dish. if you are using fresh idlis, then refrigerate for an hour.

In a large bowl , put chopped idlis. Add corn flour and coated well. Corn flour adds a slightly crisp layer when idlis get fried.

Heat oil for deep frying on medium heat. Lower heat & fry on low heat. Fry until idlis get a slightly crisp layer on its top.

Heat 3-tbsp cooking oil in a pan. Add chopped ginger and garlic and fry on high heat until garlic become brown at its edges.

Add sliced chilies and chopped onions & fry for 30 seconds on high heat. Add chopped spring onion, chopped capsicum & fry on high heat for a minute. Cover & cook on medium heat.

We have cooked veggies for a minute and a half on medium heat. Ensure we retain the crunch. Now we will add sauces- red chili sauce, green chili sauce, soy sauce & tomato ketchup. Mix well.

Stir fry for a minute. Now, we will add fried idlis & mix well. Add crunched peppercorns, salt to taste & mix well. Add vinegar & give it a quick stir. Remove from heat.

Chili idli fry must be served hot. Served with tomato ketchup or Schezwan chutney.
