For those (read as those in kids and
husbands category mainly but applicable to all ;)) who find Idli not a
glorified food to be taken to school or office, here is a version of the dish
with a twist. All you need is 5 ingredients.
Recipe
Ingredients
Idli – cut into small pieces or you can
use the mini idli versions too – 3
Onion – medium sized – 1 – diced.
Tomato ketchup – 5 tablespoons
Garlic powder – 2 tablespoons (you get
a lot of garlic powder varieties in the supermarkets. I have used the one by
Snapin.)
Oil – 1 teaspoon
Salt – if needed (I didn’t use it)
Preparation
- In a hot pan, add oil.
- Add the diced onions and sauté well.
- Once sautéed, add the garlic powder. Mix well.
- Add tomato ketchup and add idli pieces. Mix all the ingredients well.
Tip: You can add a pinch of salt or pepper powder
based on your/family’s spice needs. But the dish has been well received by my
kids without this, so I don’t add salt or pepper.
Garnishing Tip: Throw in few pudina or coriander leaves and enjoy seeing the family
gorge on the dish!
