Vegetable Idlys
Description
Idlys are an essential item of any South Indian family’s routine cuisine, and for this reason, it tends to get a bit boring at times, especially for children. So, here is my way of perking up those regular idlies, adding in more nutrition and taste to suit your needs!
Ingredients
- Idlies : around 10 no.s cut into cubes
- Par-boiled chopped vegetables(Potatoes, peas, carrots, beans) : 1 cup
- chopped onions : 1
- Red chilly powder : ½ tsp
- Corriander powder : ½ tsp
- Turmeric powder : ¼ tsp
- Salt to taste
- Cooking oil : 2 tsp
- For tempering:
- mustard seeds (rai) : ½ tsp
- Urad dhal : ½ tsp
- Dry red chilly : 1 no. broken into two
- Curry leaves : a few
- water : ¼ cup
Methods/steps
- Heat the oil in a thick bottomed or a non-stick pan and put in the mustard seeds, urad dhal, dry red chilly and the curry leaves.
- Sauté the chopped onions for a while and add in the red chilly powder, turmeric and the coriander powder to it. mix well
- Put in the chopped boiled vegetables and fry for a while. Mix in the salt. Take care while adding the salt, as the idly’s already have salt in them.
- Lastly, add the chopped idlys and mix well. Sprinkle the water on it and cook for a minute, covered. Mix well and remove from flame.
- You may garnish it with chopped coriander leaves and fried cashewnuts if needed.
