Idli fries

(from Nandini’s recipe box)

Categories: Idli, Leftout

Ingredients

  • Leftover Idlis
  • Curry leaves
  • Coriander leaves (optional)
  • Sesame seeds(optional)
  • Mustard seeds
  • Oil, salt

Directions

  1. Take Idlis and cut them into strips (like cutting potato French fries). I cut them thicker that the usual potato fries.

  2. Take a thick flat pan (preferable non-stick), and add oil on medium to high heat.

  3. Add the cut idlis and toss it around in the pan. Do not handle them a lot as it tends to break. (I used rubber spatula to turn them around).

  4. Add little more oil onto a side and ddd mustard seeds, chopped curry leaves, sesame seeds and toss around again.

  5. Adding salt is optional as it depends on the idlis.

  6. Make sure that the idli fries, brown evenly on all the sides.

  7. Garnish with chopped coriander (optional). Serve Hot.
