Chili Idly

  
   
       I did not know any such dish existed until I had it at a South Indian restaurant. It tasted so good that we ignored the fact that it was made out of leftover idly (leftover food not from home but in a restaurant!!!).Over the years we tried making it a couple of times. Since we do not eat very spicy or oily food, I can call this as a healthy version of chili idly:-)

Recipe:
Ingredients:
Leftover idlies: 5-7 Cut into large squares.
Capsicum: 1 chopped into cubes
Onion: 1 chopped into cubes
Ginger garlic paste: 1 tsp
Chili sauce: 1 tsp (use more if you want it spicy)
Soy sauce: 1 tbsp
Tomato sauce: 1 tbsp
Fresh coriander: 1/2 tbsp chopped
Oil: 1 tbsp
Salt to taste

Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan. Add Ginger garlic paste and chopped onion. Fry till it onion is half cooked (for about a min).
2. Add Capsicum and fry for a couple of mins on high flame.
3. Add Soy sauce, Tomato sauce, chili sauce and salt and mix well.
4 Add Idly pieces and mix well. Add Coriander and let it cook for a couple of mins on high flame. Serve hot with Tomato ketchup.
