Chiyali

This is made up of with left over idlys. Can be served as it is with out any chutney as this itself good enough containing chilli, salt, lemon and coriander flavours. This is a nice alternative tiffin for those who don't like idlys.

Ingredients:

Idly – 8

Peanuts – 1 tbsp

Onion – 1 Chopped into small pieces

Green chilli – 2

Curry leaves – 1 string

Chopped coriander – 1 tbsp

Lemon juice – 2 tsp

Mustard + Cumin – ½ tsp

Turmeric – ¼ tsp

Salt

Oil – 1 tbsp

 

Method :

Cut each idly into 8 pieces or bite size. Heat a pan with oil. When it is hot enough add Mustard+Cumin. When they start spluttering, add curry leaves and chopped onion. Fry the onion until they slightly become tender. Now add the idly pieces, turmeric and salt. Toss every thing and cover it with lid for less than one minute, so that the idly pieces absorb the flavours.  Remove the lid, toss again and turn off the heat. Drizzle the lemon juice and sprinkle the chopped coriander. Toss again and serve immediately.
