Idli Vada Combo


This is a unique Idli Vada combo breakfast recipe. I saw this preperation in my mother in law's house. This is made out of Idli batter only and cooked slowly in a round kadai or 'Ginni'. So this is called 'Ginni Rotti'. This has a beautiful golden outer cover like a Vada and it is crispy and inside is like Idli. So if you have ever wanted to eat Idli and Vada combination this is one preperation to try. And guess what you have have both idli (with no idli cooker or stand) and Vada (with not much oil) . hope you enjoy the recipe!

Ingridients:-


Idli Batter (Should be of thick consistency)

Oil - 2 tbspn for each rotti

Round Kadai




1. Take a round Kadai and add 1-2 tbspn oil in it. Allow to become hot for 2 mins

2. Take 3 Spatula's of Idli batter and put in the kadai. As you put you should hear the sound of oil trying to fry the batter. This means the oil is hot, this way you will get a good golden color.
3. Once the batter is added, turn the heat to low. Place a lid on the kadai and let the rotti cook slowly.
4. Leave the kadai to cook on slow flame for around 8-10 mins.
Check it once after 5 mins to see that its doing good.

5. After 10 mins turn the rotti to the other side.
6. Leave it for another 5 mins and take off from heat.


Serve the Idli-Vada combo with Peanut chutney or tomato pickle as you like it.
