IDLY MANCHURIAN
Deep fried idlis tossed in Indo-Chinese sauce . This Idly Manchurian recipe is an easy way to use leftover idlis . Idly manchurian is a fusion of South Indian & Chinese style cooking . You can enjoy this dish as an appetizer or as a snack with tea and can be enjoyed as a light dinner . Cold idlis or a day old refrigerated idlis work best as they are easy to cut and fry . Even fresh idlis can be kept in fridge for 30 minutes and then turned into manchurian Idly . This unusual yet unique fusion food that takes an Indo Chinese avater is soft from inside with crisp exterior. Tossed in sauces and combined with bell pepper , the end result makes it hard to identify that main ingredient is our humble idli .
