Idli Usli is a tasty snack/breakfast item. Learnt it from my mom. My family loves it. To be prepared from leftover idlis, preferably the ones made using urad dal and idli rava.

Ingredients Used:

Idlis
2-3 tsp cooking oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp urad dal
1 sprig curry leaves
2 green chillies-finely chopped
3-4 pinches hing/asafoetida
1/2 cup freshly grated coconut

How to make:

Powder the idlis using your hand. Warm oil in a frying pan/kadai/cooking pot. Add mustard seeds. Wait for them to crackle. Add curry leaves, urad dal, finely chopped green chillies, hing, the powdered idlis and grated coconut. Mix, cover with a lid and leave for 5-8 minutes until the usli becomes hot and ready to serve.
