STEP BY STEP OF MAKING IDLI MANCHURIAN

Idli Manchurian (From leftover Idli)

By August 14, 2012

I love this Idly Manchurian a lot,its more like a snack food to us.Just pick a food stick and poke it and eat like finger food.I enjoy making this a lot because whenever I make it,it disappears like magic.My whole family loves it,Hy husband has a liking to soya sauce(I know it's bad)but We like to eat this when we are bored with our regular idly or dosas.I know it has oil in them but for some reason I find this dish very light to stomach,it absorbs very less oil(don't ask me how,but I feel so light)so weight watchers stay away from this dish but others lets dip it,its not really that oily trust me.

5.Chop the left over idly in to cubes or make fresh idly and store them in fridge for 10 mins,when it gets little hard remove from fridge and chop to long or cube shapes.

6.Then dip the idly in to the paste and coat it well.

7.Now deep fry the idly in hot oil and remove it when they turn to golden brown,dont worry they wont be too oily.Use tissue paper to remove all the oil.

8.Now going back to where we left the masala,then to that mix add red chilly sauce,soya sauce and mix it for more min.Add salt to requirement.

9.Now add the fried idly to this mix and roll it well.Add more soya or red chilly sauce according to your liking.Add chopped coriander leaves and mint leaves.I like to add both because they give a wonderful flavor.
