Instructions
 

Prepare the Spiced Potato Filling

  • Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add asafoetida, dalia, green chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
  • Add chopped onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté until onions are translucent and slightly pink.
  • Add the boiled and mashed potatoes. Mix well and season with salt to taste. Set aside.

Prepare the Idlis

  • Steam the idli batter according to package instructions to create thick and spongy idlis.
  • Let the idlis cool slightly, then unmold them and carefully cut each idli into two equal layers using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Assemble the Sandwich

  • Spread tomato chutney on one layer of idli.
  • Evenly spread the spiced potato filling onto the other idli layer.
  • Top with the chutney-spread idli layer to create a sandwich.

Grill and Serve

  • Place the assembled sandwich in a griller or toaster for about 5 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and heated through, ensuring even toasting on both sides.
  • Cut the sandwich into triangles and serve hot with tomato chutney.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Idli Sandwich

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala to the potato filling.
  • If your idlis are too soft, you can gently toast them in a pan before assembling the sandwich for added crispiness.
  • Experiment with different chutneys! Coconut chutney or even a spicy green chutney would be delicious additions.
  • For a vegetarian-friendly option, ensure your tomato chutney is also vegetarian.
