Idli Manchurian Recipe

Idli Manchurian Recipe
Combine All Purpose Flour (Maida), Corn Flour, Ginger Garlic Paste, Salt, Pepper and Red Chilli Powder in a bowl and add water to make a smooth paste of slightly thick consistency (similar to pakora batter). Cut the Idlis into bite-sized pieces. Leftover Idli works best since it's less crumbly. If you are using fresh made Idlis, then you can refrigerate them for 30 mins before using.

Method: Idli Manchurian Recipe

  • Combine All Purpose Flour (Maida), Corn Flour, Ginger Garlic Paste, Salt, Pepper and Red Chilli Powder in a bowl and add water to make a smooth paste of slightly thick consistency (similar to pakora batter).
  • Cut the Idlis into bite-sized pieces. Leftover Idli works best since it’s less crumbly. If you are using fresh made Idlis, then you can refrigerate them for 30 mins before using.
  • Heat oil in a deep kadhai (wok). When the oil becomes hot, dip the idlis in the batter and gently drop them in the oil. Fry them till they turn crispy and golden brown in color.
  • Heat some oil in a pan and add finely chopped onions. Also, add ginger garlic paste. Saute for a minute but do not overcook the onions.
  • Add Soy Sauce, Green Chilli Sauce, Tomato Sauce, Salt, and Pepper. Saute for a few seconds. You can add 1 teaspoon cornflour to make the sauce thicker if it’s watery. Also, add some spring onion greens.
  • Add the fried idlis to the pan and toss them in the sauce to coat them completely.
  • Idli Manchurian is ready. Serve it hot along with Fried Rice or just enjoy it as a snack.
