Podi idli is just yum with the gingelly oil and podi flavour though a little spicy.
Ingredients:-
Mini Idlis - around 20
Idli Podi 1, Idli Podi 2 - 1 tbsp
Onion - 2 tbsp finely chopped
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp(optional)
Carrot grated - 2 tbsp
Capsicum - 1 tbsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
Gingelly Oil - 1/2 tbsp
Coriander leaves - 1.5 tbsp finely chopped
Cashews - 5 (broken and fried in ghee)
Salt - to taste
To temper:
Oil - 2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 3/4 tsp
Curry leaves - a small sprig
Direction:-
1. Pour idli batter into the mini idli mould and steam it for 8-10mins. My mini idli steamer has cloth so I use it which gives more softer idlis.You can just pour it directly into the mould too.
2. In a mixing bowl add the idlis, drizzle gingelly oil and idli podi, mix well and set aside.In a kadai heat oil - add mustard seeds and curry leaves let it splutter.
3. Add onion,ginger garlic paste and saute for few mins till onions turn golden brown.Add carrot and capsicum.
4. Saute for few mins till raw smell of the veggies leave, add required salt. Add the podi idlis and toss it well.Finally add coriander leaves and ghee fried cashews.Give a quick stir and switch off.
Serve Warm !
