Mini idlis are fun food for kids (I believe so or atleast I like to think so). Its really hard to make kids eat vegetarian food when you are from a non vegetarian family. Idli is comfort food for most of us but you should have a magical wand to make your kids eat this. I was surfing to find an appealing idli podi recipe and came across this recipe.So tried and really turned out good.
INGREDIENTS :
Makes 2 Servings
Mini Idlis - 40 Nos
Mustard - 1Tsp
Urad Dal - 1 Tsp
Curry Leaves - 1 Sprig
Peanuts - 1 Tbsp (Roasted)
Small Carrot - 1 (Grated)
Coriander Leaves -2Tbsp (chopped)
Peanut Podi - 2 Tbsp (click on the link to view the recipe)
METHOD:
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add oil and add the mustard seeds allow it to splutter. Add urad dal, roasted peanuts and curry leaves and give it a stir. Add the idlis to this oil and stir them well. Now add the peanut idli podi to the hot idlis and toss well . Finally add the grated carrot and chopped coriander leaves. Give a quick stir close the pan with a lid and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes. Check for salt. You might not need extra salt because the peanut podi already has the salt in it.
PS: Adding lemon juice is optional. Instead you can finally add a teaspoon of ghee which really enhances the flavor.
Feel free to add any available idli podi. I liked this version of idli podi in these idlis.
If you don't have the mini idli pan,you can always make regular idlis and cut them into pieces.
