About Spot Idli
Hyderabadi Spot Idli is a popular street food sold on the streets of Hyderabad. You will find many street vendors and roadside stalls selling this delicious snack. Spot Idli is nothing but idli batter poured over a spicy onion-tomato masala and cooked. This dish requires no idli mold and comes together in under 15 minutes using simple ingredients. Serve it with coconut chutney, tomato onion chutney, or any other South Indian chutney you choose. Idli Podi—I like to make Idli Podi at home, but you can also use any store-bought one. You can experiment with other podi recipes, such as Karivepaku Podi or Andhra Style Peanut Chutney Powder. Others – You will also need butter, oil, onions, green chilies, fresh tomatoes, curry leaves, fresh ginger, garlic, Kashmiri red chili powder, and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves). Adjust the green chilies and red chili powder to suit your taste. Add the following ingredients once the butter is melted, and saute for 2 minutes.
½ cup chopped onions 2 teaspoon finely chopped green chilies ½ cup finely chopped tomatoes 10-12 curry leaves 2 teaspoon finely chopped ginger, 2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder 2 tablespoon idli podi 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Note – Taste the masala and add any salt if needed. My idli podi already had salt so I didn’t add any extra. Divide the masala into 4 equal parts and place the mounds in opposite corners of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the batter is lightly set from the top. Cook uncovered for another 2 minutes. Remove on serving plate. Drizzle a little ghee on top and serve immediately.
