Coming to Kaima Idli last week I prepared this as breakfast with leftover Idlis from previous night's dinner. Kaima Idli was made famous by Saravana Bhavan in Chennai. They took the left over idlies and did a make over by frying the idlies and tossing the fried idlies in a tangy sauce. The concept of deep frying the idlies is genius.
Steps to make (Idli Leftover) Kaima Idli:
- In a wok add 2 tablespoons of ghee/oil and wait till it heats.
- Chop the leftover idlis into bite sized pieces; minimum 4 for each Idli.
- Drop the idly pieces in the wok and sauté until the pieces turn cruchy. You can also deep/air fry or bake in oven.
- Take the pieces out and add in extra 1 tablespoon of ghee/oil to wok. Then start adding onions to it and let it turn brown well. Once the onion turns brown, add in the spices. Note that if the wok feels dry, add 1 tsp water.
- Now once all have been mixed well, add in the chopped green bell peppers. Now toss all again making sure that bell pepper is not burning.
- Finally, after 7 minutes, add in the chopped Idli pieces. Toss and mix well. Flame off and close the wok. The idli pieces will cook in retained heat. Finally, garnish with crushed kasoori methi.
This recipe is good for parties and its a kids favorite. Do try it for your kids. I have even attempted to try this at home.
