Idly batter bonda

I had jus half cup idly batter left.That is not enough to prepare idly.I was getting bored to do dosai.So i decided to prepare bonda as tiffing that evening.


I add handful of rice flour to the idly batter.To this i added little salt,pepper powder & curry leaves.Batter should be a bit thick so that u can take it in hands & make small pieces & drop it in oil.Heat oil in a kadai.When oil is hot enough drop small pieces of this batter like v do for pakodas.Deep fry them & serve hot with ketchup or coconut chutney.U can add onion & add chili powder instead of pepper powder.It was an instant bonda i prepared the other day when i had nothing much to prepare any tiffin item.It tasted like mysore bonda.

Idly uppma

I was left with a lot of Idli batter. I know it keeps for a long time and I can make idlis whenever but I already had some left over from before too so that makes a lot of batter in the fridge! Moreover I've had idlis so many times now I just want to stop for a while!!I had to finish the batter so I went ahead and made the idlis but it didn’t stop there. I made Idli upma from it, unless you tell someone what the upma is they wouldn’t guess its from Idlis…hehe

Here is how i made it
Ingredients
10-12 idlies(powdered)
vegetables(cut) 1cup-i use carrots,beans,peas,corn kernels,capsicum
tomato 1
onion 1
green chilli 1
jeera 1/2tsp
mustard 1/2tsp
turmeric powder 1/4tsp
salt to taste
pinch of hing
oil for tampering
coriander & curry leaves
Idly milagai podi or red chilli powder 2-3 tsp
Break up the idlis with your hands or with the help of fork. Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds, urad dal and chana dal. Saute for a minute. Add the curry leaves and green chillies. Add the chopped onions anf fry till soft. Add the turmeric powder and saute for a minute.Add the veggies & idly milagai podi or red chilli powder. Add the idli powder and mix well. Add salt to taste . Garnish with chopped coriander and serve.

I always prefer to add idly podi to prepare idly uppma

Thaval adai

I prepared adai one day & had lots of batter left.So next day for eveing snacks i prepared thaval adai.This requires less oil than adai.It tastes gud.Takes a bit longer to cook still tastes gud.

This is how i made it.
To the adai batter i had i add onions,little rice flour & salt.Then i added more water & made it little watery so tht it is easy to make dough like stuff.

In a kadai add 4-5 tsp oil,then add mustard seeds.Then pour in the batter & keep mixing constantly till it thickeness.

Allow it to cool down a little since u have to make little vadai like stuff from the dough.Now crease ur palm with oil take a little batter & form them to small vadai kind.


Heat tava the one v use for preparing dosai.place these vadais and allow them to cook on both sides.

Serve with ketchup & hot tea.Batter is over & ppl loved the new tiffin.
