Mini idlis

Though this is not a great pic,the dish was gobbled down so fast that I had to share it as it was. Idlis in all sizes form a staple part of the Indian breakfast,but in a lot of south Indian homes,the younger lot usually prefer to eat dosas rather than the healthier steamed version of the rice and urad dhal batter !!!
While many homes do wonders in flavouring idlis and offering them in many exciting avatars...which i do plan on discovering and experimenting with soon....this particular dish is very very simple,flavour full and bursting with the freshness of coriander,chillies and tomatoes...so as humble and simple as it is,do try once,on a busy morning,you maybe surprised how satisfying it could be !
Ingredients
Tomatoes-2 finely chopped
Green chillies-2 finely chopped
Coriander leaves-a small hand full,chopped very fine
Onion-1 finely chopped(optional)
Method :
Steam the idlis and set aside...this recipe is for two platters of mini idlis.
In a small pan, add a tbsp of oil,saute the onions,green chillies .
When soft,add the tomatoes and saute until slightly pulpy.
Add the coriander leaves and stir well a few times
Add salt and stir.
Take off the fire and add to the slightly cooled idlis and toss through gently.
People who like the taste of coriander and tomato will love it as it is...alternatively you could serve it with a coconut chutney or a mint chutney or also add in some idli podi as extra flavouring...simple and tasty !
