Idli Fritters

I had some leftover idlis, which I wanted to use differently. Usually I make upma out of it, but got bored of it. So I tried this variation. I made idli fritters for the evening snack and they were a hit at our home.

Ingredients: 6 Leftover Idlis 1 small Onion ½ cup Rice Flour Some Curry Leaves 1 tsp dry Red Chili Powder or according to individual taste Water and Salt as required Oil to deep fry Preparation: Crush the idlis coarsely with hand. Cut the onion into very fine pieces. In a bowl mix together the crushed idlis, rice flour, onion pieces, curry leaves, red chili powder and salt by adding little water to make a thick batter so that it can be easily dropped in the oil. In a deep pan heat the oil. When it is hot, drop the prepared batter carefully into the oil with a big spoon.  Fry them for some time until the fritters turn golden brown in color. Then remove them from the hot oil and spread on a paper towel.  Repeat the same process with remaining batter. Serve hot with ketchup or ginger chutney and a cup of tea.
