Pepper Idli Recipe – Leftover Idli Recipes

Pepper idli plate
I tasted this pepper idli in Salem “Lakshmi hotel” . They served mini idli flavored with pepper masala. It was served with onion raita. As my husband is fond of pepper recipes , we ordered this recipe to try. It was very simple and yet very tasty. Though the idlies are not deep fried , I felt it was too oily. I tried the same recipe at home with moderate quantity of oil and it was a success Thumbs up . If  yu have left over idli batter at home , you can try this recipe.This recipe is a nice replacement for kaima idli and chilli idli..If  you r a pepper lover,do try this .. U’ll love its flavour for sure Smile .. Even if you can’t make button idli, you can use the left over idli by cutting them into bite sized cubes and try the same. Recently my MIL told me after reading a magazine that eating 10 pepper corns per day helps better digestion , prevents stroke and heart attack.. So friends lets try to eat the whole pepper corns in ven pongal and include more pepper powder in our cooking Smile.

Pepper idli



INGREDIENTS
  • Mini idli / button idli ( small idli) – 15 nos
  • Big onion – 1 no
  • Tomato – 1 no ( I used Bangalore tomato)
  • Garlic cloves – 8 nos
  • Curry leaves – few
  • Coarsely ground pepper powder – 1.5 tsp (adjust)
  • Salt – As needed
  • Cooking oil – 2 tbsp
  • Coriander leaves – To garnish
  • Ghee – 1 tsp ( to garnish)
METHOD
  • Make mini idli ( small idli) and keep in a separate plate.Let it cool down. Grind the pepper corns coarsely and set aside.
  • Chop the tomato into big cubes. Its better if  you use bangalore tomatoes ( less pulpy ones) .. Slice half of the big onion and finely chop the remaining half . Chop the garlic cloves finely in round shape..

  • Saute well and then add the tomato pieces.Saute for a minute.Tomato should not turn mushy.It should be visible.
  • Finally add the pepper powder & salt. Mix well and then add the idli pieces.Give a quick mix and make sure the pepper powder coats the idli well.
