India is a very diversified country and its diversity can not be seen in art, culture, language but also in food too. The diversity in food can be seen in its look, taste and even in the way it is cooked. One dish can be different in its look, taste and the process of cooking in different parts of our country. That's how diversified our country is and we Indians are definitely proud of it.
Have you ever tried Fusion Dishes? Fusion Cuisine doesn't fall under any particular cuisine style and has played a part in innovations of many contemporary restaurant cuisines since the 1970s. It's really very innovative and at the same time challenging to fuse elements of different culinary traditions into one style of cooking. I usually try to experiment with some traditional dishes and give them a new look and feel.
Today in this post I'm going to blend together two different cuisines which are way apart from one another, one is South Indian cuisine and the other one is Chinese Cuisine/ Ind0-Chinese Cuisine to be very specific. If you love these cuisines then you'll definitely love this recipe.
If you're wondering how to cook Idlis which are soft and fluffy then I have got your back. I have already posted the recipe of Idlis which you can read here (click here). So, let's begin with the recipe:
Ingredients:
1. Idli: 7-8
2. Onion (cubes): 10-15 pieces
3. Green Capsicum (cubed): 10-15 pieces
4. Spring Onions: 1/4 cup
5. Crushed Ginger: 1 tsp
6. Crushed Garlic: 1 tsp
7. Corn flour: 1 tbsp
8. Vinegar: 1 tbsp
9. Soy Sauce: 1 tbsp
10. Tomato Sauce: 1 tbsp
11. Red Chilli Sauce: 1 tbsp
12. Green Chilli Sauce: 1 tbsp
13. Schezwan Sauce: 1 tbsp
14. Oil: for frying
Method:
1. Cut the Idli into four pieces. You can cut them in any shape you want.
2. Heat oil in a pan and fry the Idlis until they become crisp from outside. This will take roughly around 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat. Once done take them out in a bowl.
3. In the same pan add more oil if required and add the crushed ginger and garlic. Fry them for 30 seconds. Take care not to burn them.
4. Now add the cubed onion and capsicum pieces and fry them for a minute. Do not over fry them. We don’t want to lose the crunchiness of the veggies.
5. We will now add vinegar, green chili sauce, red chili sauce, tomato sauce, schezwan sauce, soy sauce and give everything a nice mix.
6. Take a tbsp of cornflour and mix it with 1/4 cup of water to make cornflour slurry. Now add this slurry in the prepared mixture.
7. At this point add the fried idli pieces and coat them nicely with the prepared sauce mixture. Once done switch off the flame.
8. Take out the Chilli Idli on a serving plate and garnish it with some green onions. Enjoy!!
