Leftover Recipe/

Quick Snacks for Holi

Hi Friends,

I am very very happy today as first time i have won prize in a contest run by Amy of http://foodssrilanka.blogspot.sg co sponsored by Marine Chemicals. I have won 3rd and 4th prize at the contest. I am really so so happy about this prize. I will get 8 china grass packets. I am eagerly waiting for them as i hardly get any china grass here. I have lots of recipes in my mind to try with it. Hope this wait will get over soon. I know there must be something special to celebrate this occasion  I will soon upload something for this win. Till then enjoy this spicy quick and yummy snack.

Yesterday on Holi i made Idli Sambar for breakfast. As i am recovering from my health issues so i didn't made any elaborated meal for the occasion. but i was prepeared to make some evening snack for this occassion. I was clueless that what should i make which should be less time consuming. At the evening i saw few idlies lying in the fridge. As summers arrived here already so just wanted to use them up as soon as possible. I thought for few minutes and decided to make Idli Upma. I never made it earlier. So used my imagination and made this within 5 minutes. Easy peasy, yummy snack for Holi evening was ready within minutes and for accompaniment i made strawberry shake (recipe coming soon). Both went great together as spiciness of upma went away with strawberry shake. I was very happy with the outcome. My hubby liked it very much. Hope you will like it too.

Masala Idli (Low Spice Version)

Masala Idli (Low Spice Version)

Hi Friends,

Do you like Idli's or your kids like idli. But problem lies in Side dish, means Sambhar, chatni etc. May be my all South Indian Friends must be having all these kind of chatni's or sambhar very handy but north Indians like me, making Sambhar or Nariyal Chatni is a project. We need to prepare a lot to make all these side dishes. My son often ask for Idli's and question in front of was Sambhar/chatni. 

Then i found one way and these idli's are invented. I already have a Masala Idli (spicier version) in my blog. But that is not for me or kids. We like very less spicy (even chilly less) food. So i made these idli's. You can have it with Tea/Milk/Coffee etc. No sauce is required. Now i make these idli's very often without worrying about side dish. You can have them in breakfast, or evening snacks or munch upon them any time with your favorite drink. 

Ingredients:-

Idli Batter- 2 cups 

Onion - 1 medium Chopped fine

Tomato - 1 medium Chopped fine

Tomato Sauce - 1 tbsp

Salt - According to your taste

Method:-

Gather your ingredients

Add everybody in Idli Batter

Mix Well

Grease your idli plates and fill them

steam them for 10 min

Let them cool and take out 

Serve

Notes:-

1. You can make them only with tomato sauce.
2. you can skip tomato or onion as per your wish, but i will recommend you to add both.

Hope you will like it

Love

Spicy Idli for Spice Lovers

Spicy Idli for Spice Lovers

Hi Friends,

In my home we are two parties. Yes you heard right, like me and my kids are total spice less person, we can't tolerate a single green chilly or red chilly in our food and just opposite is my hubby, he don't like food without spices. So i make everything in two manner, like you can see in my Stuffed Bun that i have made two fillings, one with chilly and another without chilly. So sometimes its very hectic to change every dish in two parts.

Today i am here with spicy Idli, i use to make masala idli but my husband is not satisfied with that as he is a spice lover and i make them with least spices. So Yesterday morning i made these spicy Idli's specially for him  and it came out very spicy and flavorful. I used green chatni for it, even after that i felt hubby must be asking for more spice so added some more chilly flakes and i was right as hubby said make it bit more spicy. Yes he can eat 20-30 chilies in one single dish. I can only think about it. Can't imagine eating that one dish. So friends you can use your favorite chatni/sauce in it. Do experiments and tell me your experience.

Ingredients:-

Idli Batter - 3 cups

Onion - 2 medium (chopped in small size)

Tomato - 1 medium (chopped in small size)

Chilly Flakes - 1 tsp

Green Chatni- 2 tbsp

Salt - as per your taste

Method:-

Gather your ingredients

Add everything listed above in idli batter

Mix Gently everything

Grease your idli molds and pour batter in it

Steam for 8-10 min, take them out and cool completely

Now remove from molds and Serve

No need of any chatni or Sauce or Side Dish

Serves it with HOT PIPING TEA

Notes:-

1. I made them especially for Independence day event so i used these two colors. You try your favourite sauce/chatni and see the difference.
2. If you are serving them with some accompaniment  then no need to add salt and onion.
3. You you are serving it alone with tea/coffee then add salt in white idli only as sauce and green chatni already had that.
4. I normally add onion in idli batter. You can skip it.
