i wasn’t aware of this manchurian recipe until one day my husband surprised me by preparing this recipe to me. he learnt this recipe when he use to work in chennai. according to him, in the mornings the street vendors prepare idlis and sell it for breakfast. however, in the evening same street vendors transform themselves to indo-chineese food stall and sell these left over idlis as idli manchurian.
whenever, i prepare idli’s for breakfast i prepare extra idli’s for evening snacks. i usually prepare idli upma or masala idli from these idlis. however today, my husband asked me to prepare the idli manchurian, similarly like gobi manchurian. even i wanted to taste some indian street food and hence i decided to prepare this yummy manchurian recipe. i used corn and plain flour coating for these idlis. however, if you do not like, you can deep fry the idlis without the coating.
i have posted several other indo-cineese cuisine recipes like veg fried rice. if you are interested on indian street food recipes, have look at my gobi manchuria, schezwan noodles, schezwan fried rice and hot and sour soup. finally check my instant recipes like instant poha idli, stuffed idli,oats idli, rava idli. if you are looking for traditional idli recipes then you must check kotte kadubu, idli with cooked rice and mini idli recipes.
