IDLY MANCHURIAN

Thanks to all my friends and family members who kept on asking me the recipes of the dishes I have posted on FB you guys motivated me to create this blog. I hate writing but I am going to do this so that every time I see my blog I will get motivated to cook more variety dishes I hope :)

I decided to start my recipe blogging with Idly Manchurian. The reason I chose this dish first is because Idly is considered to be one of the boring dishes and imagine eating the left over idly`s that is like a nightmare.I know most of us modify the left over Idly`s into Idly Upma or Idly fry but that is usual I wanted to try something different that is how I landed up inventing this dish. 

Ingredients for Frying Idly`s :

Left over Idly`s  (Do not use fresh hot idly`s at least keep it for couple of hours and then use it)
1 cup Besan/ kadala maavu
1 cup Corn Flour

1/2 cup Rice Flour

Red Chilly powder (According to taste)
Salt to taste (According to taste)

 

Ingredients for making Manchurian

2 tbsp Oil

1 cup finely Chopped Onions

1 cup finely Chopped Spring Onions (optional)
Chopped green chili

Finely Chopped Ginger

1 tbsp Ginger Garlic paste

Chopped Capsicum/ Bell pepper (optional)

Soya Sauce

Chilly Sauce
Tomato Ketchup

 Finely Chopped Coriander Leaves 

 

 

Method for Frying

• Cut Idly into small square shaped pieces
• Make a paste by mixing besan,corn flour,rice flour,salt and red chilly powder
• Heat oil in a pan and bring it to Boiling
• Dip the cut Idly`s in the Batter and deep fry it and keep it aside.

Preparation of Idly Manchurian:

• Heat little oil in a fresh pan
• Add onion, spring onion,ginger garlic paste,green chilly and finely chopped ginger and stir till the onion turns golden brown
• Add capsicum/Bell pepper and mix for few minutes (This step is optional I and vinod love capsicum so I add it )
• Add the fried Idly`s and mix well 
• Add soya sauce,tomato sauce, chilly sauce and some salt mix the contents well
• Finely add some chopped coriander/Cilantro for garnishing
•  Serve hot with a big smile and lot of love :)

 

Please Note:

To make Gobi/Cauliflower Manchurian you can use the same method but swap idly with Gobi

 

You can eat Idly Manchurian as a starter or eat it along with fried rice or chapati`s.
