Idli Fry

Idli hails from Southern India. It is steamed rice and lentil cake. Rice and Lentils are soaked for few hrs and grind into fine batter, then fermented overnight to steam the batter in special idli moulds. I had made Instant Rawa Idlis earlier and to be honest, idlis make the best of the breakfast, brunch and snack. These are light, good on digestion and delicious. If you like Idlis, then you will surely love Idli Fry. Even non idli lovers like this dish.
These idlis taste the best when fresh, out of the steaming pot, served with sambhar and chutney. The leftovers or the re-heated idls are good but loose their soft and spongy texture. My mother often used to re fry or re do the idlis in this situation. I always loved the re-fried idlis, prepared by mum. This is my take on her version.
Often I have mentioned that when life is so complicated, our recipes need not be…..this particular recipe is a great example of the above. Few ingredients and 10 minutes of your time. Chop, heat and toss…that’s it! ;). They are perfect for any parties, a snack or even lunch box. Keeps you full. Keeps you happy.
This is how I made it!
I had a great time tossing Idli Fry in my Indian American Kitchen. I am sure that you are going to be a super hit and most favorite person in the family and amongst friends, when you feeds them these fabulous idlis.
