Do you have leftover idlis that have hardened enough to seal a crack in one's head. Even dogs give you a rude look when you offer them your hard work (literally!). Oh well i sound like those foreign tv marketers who translate their speech into something nonsensical. Well that's okay coz i m going to spare you from seeing your hard earned money sent into trash in form of those idlis.
Here is what you can make out of them
Ingredients:
Left over idlis - 8
Curry leaves - 12-15 ( i like them a lot)
methi seeds - 1 tsp
mustard seeds - 1 tsp
cumin seed - 1 tsp
hing - 1/2 tsp
chopped onion - 1 big
chopped tomato - 1 big
chopped green chilli - 3-4
turmeric - 1/2 tsp optional
Veggies optional (peas, beans, carrot, capsicum)
White urad dal - 1 tsp
Chana dal - 2 tsp
salt as per taste
oil/ghee - 1 tbsp
Method:
Make a coarse powder of idlis...no you don't have to take out your kitchen weapons...your hands are good enough....just try breaking them (squeezing them literally...mind you it only needs hardened idli else it will not break into powder)
Now heat oil in a kadai. Add urad and chana dal and stir for 2-3 mins. once they turn brown add the dry spices (methi, mustard, cumin, hing). After they splutter, add curry leaves. Now add chopped onion and fry on high flame for 1 min. Lower the flame and add the vegetables, salt and turmeric and cook till they are done (alternatively you can boil the vegetable separately and add to the oil and fry). Now add chopped tomato, chillies and fry for another 2 mins.
Now add the mashed idlis and stir fry for 3-4 mins. Add lemon juice if you like a tangy taste.
