IDLY CUTLET - LEFT OVER IDLY RECIPE

IDLY CUTLET - LEFT OVER IDLY RECIPE

Idly cutlet is one of the simple snack recipe using the left over idlys. Generally we make idly upma using leftover idlys. But this idly cutlet is very different tasty snack that can be made in very less time.

Actullay I got this idea of making cutlet using idly from a story, yes J story only. Long back ie., during my school days I read story which is having a moral like in any situation we should nt lose our hope, from every failure there is a new beginning. I try to tell that in short here.

In a village one small hotel was there. Once some festival in the local temple of that village. So that hotel owner prepared lot of idlys to sell, as he expects more people from nearby villages also will visit the temple. But at the end of the day, the idlies didn’t go as he expected. He was little upset of the loss. But he didn’t lose his confidence. He prepared idly upma out of that idlies and included that in the menu for next day breakfast. Somehow it got sold, but still some leftover upma was there. So he prepared vada out of that leftover for evening breakfast. J Like that that story goes. 

I liked that idea of making vada. So tried this cutlet with the leftover idlys one day, it was really great, and my husband didn’t find out what I used as base for this cutletJ.

Ok now coming to the recipe.
