• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 tsp cumin seeds

Method

• Once they splutter add urad dal, chopped green chili, ginger paste & curry leaves. Fry for 2 min.
• Then add chopped onion & fry till its little brownish.
• Then add turmeric powder, salt & sugar. Cook for 1 min.
• To this add the idli pieces. Simmer for 2 min.& cover with lid.
• Idli will absorb the oil & it will become soft you may add some water also for softness.
