طريقة التحضير

  1. 1

    Crumble the idlis

    Break the leftover idlis into rough, bite-sized crumbs using your hands. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Temper the spices

    Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seed and urad dal, and fry until the mustard seed crackles and the dal turns golden.

  3. 3

    Cook the aromatics

    Add the curry leaves, onion and green chilli, and sauté 3–4 minutes until the onion softens.

  4. 4

    Season

    Stir in the turmeric and salt, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add the idli crumbs

    Tip in the crumbled idli and toss gently to coat evenly in the tempering. Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly crisp at the edges.

  6. 6

    Finish

    Scatter over fresh coriander and serve warm.

A squeeze of lemon and a spoon of Nitra Coriander Chutney turn this humble breakfast into something worth repeating on purpose, not just as leftovers.
