Chop idli into chunks. Heat 2 tbsp Oil in a dosa tawa and pan fry the idli pieces until they are golden brown on all the sides (If you don’t mind deep frying then go ahead. )
Chop 1 onion lengthwise, 2 small tomatoes, 1 capsicum and keep it aside. slit 2 green chilli, finely chop ginger & garlic.
Heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil in a wok or in kadai, add green chillies, ginger garlic pieces. Saute for a minute.
Add the remaining veggies and keep sauteing until onions become translucent & capsicum should have been half cooked by now
Add 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp sugar, turmeric, 1/2 tbsp Chilli powder, 1/2 tbsp coriander powder, 1/2 tbsp garam masala powder and make sure these dry powders are mixed well with the veggies
At last add pan fried idlies & toss them gently
Donot add water. It will spoil the crispiness in idli
If you want the idlis to be slightly tangier, add 2 tbsp of tomato ketchup or tomato sauce. Mix it well with idlis. They add a lovely color to Kaima Idli. This step is totally optional. If you don’t have sauce at home then just leave it as it is. Idli will still taste yumm 🙂
I didnt have frozen green peas but they add such a nice flavor to kaima idli. So do add it & finally garnish with coriander leaves
