Recently have been posting many variations with Idiyappam and this another one such. Followed the recipe just like my Methi rice recipe. Is also very healthy and very tasty. You can prepare idiyappam at home or also can use store bought frozen packs.

Idiyappam - 3 - 4 cups cooked
Methi leaves - Cleaned and washed 1 - 1 1/2 cups
Onion - 1 large chopped fine
Tomato - 2 or 3 chopped fine
Green Chilli - 2 slit long
Ginger - 1 inch piece chopped or grated
Garlic - 4 flakes chopped or grated
Chilli powder - 3/4 tsp( according to spice needed)
Coriander powder - 3/4 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - few
Salt as needed
Oil - 2 tbsp




Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and curry leaves, wait for few seconds and add chopped onions. Fry till light brown. Next add green chillies, ginger and garlic. Fry for another 3 - 4 minutes. Next add chopped tomatoes. Fry till it is mashed and water leaves out and oil floats on top. Next add methi leaves chopped roughly and fry till the leaves shrink and cooked. Now add all the powders and mix well. Finally add salt and the cooked idiyappam and mix well.
