Siyaali



Siyaali2

Idly is a staple food that south Indians prefer and most of them would have idly as their breakfast. And for home chefs like us, its a tough task to make them in right numbers to exhaust it all for breakfast.

We would surely find lots of idlys left over sometime.
So when you face such a situation, there is a yummy recipe to convert it into a very sought after tiffen for the evening or for dinner. Thats nothing but Siyaali. :)


Siyaali


Ingredients:

Idly - 10
Onion - 2 big

Bengal gram dhall - 1 tblsp

Urad dhall - 1 tblsp

Red chilly - 3

Coriander seeds - 1 tblsp

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Asafoetida - a pinch

Turmeric powder - a pinch

Tamarind paste -1 tsp

Salt - for taste

Curry leaves
Coriander leaves



Method:
Take a tsp of oil in a pan and fry bengal gram dhall, urad dhall, red chilly, cumin seeds, asafoetida and coriander seeds till they turn golden brown. Now powder the fried ingredients coarsely and keep it aside.

Cut the idlys into square pieces of same size. In a pan take a spoon of oil and crackle mustard and curry leaves. Add finely chopped onions and saute for a while till the onions turn golden brown. Now add tamarind paste, turmeric powder and the above powdered masala and fry just for a min. Add little salt to it.(Do keep in mind that the idlys already have salt in it.) Now add the idlys and saute for few more mins mixing it well. Finally add chopped coriander leaves to it.
S

Siyaali is ready to eat :)
Happy making :)

Note: Just in case you dont have time to make the masala powder, just add idly molaga podi which would taste good too. :)

Idli is a common dish in south India and Siyaali is a nice use of it if the children are not interested to have it.

Coming to idli I would like to mention the eating habits of some people.

Most of them eat idli by breaking them into pieces by hand and dipping them in the sambhar or chutney others like to pour the curry onto idli and have it.

There is a minority group that I have seen rare who mix curry in idli and make bals like rice and have it. interesting isnt it?

So idli fans are everywhere. Might be some dont like the shape so they play rice flavours. With siyaali the people who are interested in spoon recipes will get benifits.

I would be one among them to try Siyaali. Goos post but this time no interesting and creative decorations?

Priya dharshini said...
