Kaima Idli by Selvi

The idlis must be cold & hard – best refrigerated. Cut into strips 1” long. You can use any combination of vegetables from, red & green capsicums, carrots, French beans & peas, besides onions.

Cut idlis - 2 cups

Cut vegetables - 1 cup (or more)

Sliced onions - ½ cup
Oil - 3 tbsp

Any chilli sauce - 1 tbsp ( optional – if you like it hot)

Grind to a fine paste:

Red chillies - 5-6

Garlic pieces - 4,4

Jeera - 1 tsp

Heat oil & fry the paste till raw smell goes.

Add the onions first and next the vegetables & stir-fry for 3-4 mts (adding a dash of aji no moto is your option).

After they are sauted & glossy, add the idlis & mix well.

Cook on a low flame for the flavours to blend.
Any chilli sauce can be added for extra spicy taste at this stage.

Remove & serve hot, garnished with chopped coriander leaves.
