Stuffed Roast Idly

My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me and I owe a very big thanks to her. Thank you so much N, the little one loved it very much. My husband called it French fries and my son was gobbling them 🙂

It's Stuffed idli roast! Simply transform your plain and boring idlis into a crunchy snack by stuffing it with potatoes and roasting them. Not even deep frying in oil! My grandmother used to roast plain idlies, but this stuffed recipe was new to me. At first I tried only with 4 idlis and it was over in no time. So I prepared it the next day too. You can either prepare fresh potato curry or use leftovers too. The second day I simply cubed and boiled potatoes (with salt and turmeric) in the microwave oven and stuffed it in the batter. That was good too.

  • Place the idlis in the frying pan and close it with a lid leaving half an inch space.

    I make stuffed idlis especially when the batter has turned too sour for plain idlis. Love the idea of roasting these idlis Madhu, good one!

    Hi madhu, There's a lady in Austin who markets something similar to various local restaurants. Instead of potato subzi, she uses jalapeno and cheese. Do try that out too!

    I am not a big fan of idlis, but if it has potatoes and deep fried ..that is inviting:)

    You don't even have to deep fry it in oil SS. 2 tablespoons of oil, max is enough. It get's so crispy after roasting.
