Tawa Idli Recipe
Tawa idli is a spicy recipe with leftover idli. The idlis are chopped and added to some pav bhaji masala and onions-tomato gravy. Finished with some lime juice and coriander, tawa idli makes a great tea time snack.
Ingredients
- 4 idli cubed
- 1/4 cup minced onions
- 1 small ripe tomato, cubed
- 2 tsp ghee or butter
- 1/4 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp pav bhaji masala adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp grated ginger
- 2 tsp lime or lemon juice
- A fistful of chopped coriander leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the butter or ghee in a pan and add the mustard seeds.
- When they pop, add the onions, turmeric and ginger.
- Saute until the onions turn pink and fragrant.
- Next, add the chopped tomatoes and saute until they turn mushy.
- Meanwhile, get out your pav bhaji masala and chop the idlis into small cubes. I like to cut them smaller than normal so the flavours will mingle better.
- Once the tomatoes are soft and mushy, add the pav bhaji masala and salt.
- Mix well and cook for 30 seconds.
- Then add the cubed idli and toss well to coat.
- Finally add the lime juice and garnish with coriander leaves.
- Serve tawa idli hot with tea or coffee.
