Method to make Bread Idli
Take a pan and add 1 ½ tablespoons of oil in it. Heat over medium flame and then add ½ tablespoon of mustard seeds. Add 8 curry leaves and onion after the seeds start to splutter. Saute for around 3 to 4 minutes.
Crush the boiled potatoes and add to the onion mix. Also, add coriander powder, ¼ tablespoon red chili powder, ⅛ tablespoon turmeric and salt in it. Cook for around 4 to 5 minutes. Keep stirring while cooking.
Take another small pan and heat 1 tbsp oil over medium flame and add the remaining ¼ tsp mustard seeds and 8 curry leaves in it. Once they start to splutter, add ⅛ tsp turmeric and ⅛ tsp red chili powder.
In the meantime, pour ½ cup curd into a small bowl. Pour the chili-turmeric oil over the curd and mix well. Keep aside.
Now, take a bread slice and place on a cutting board. Cut out a circle from the center of the bread using a cookie cutter or a sharp steel cup. Then, place a little potato mix on the cut out bread piece and spread it out evenly. Keep aside.
In a pan, heat a little oil over a low flame and place the bread idli potato side down over the hot oil. Spread the chili-turmeric curd over the idli and cover it. Cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining bread, potato and curd mix.
Once cooked, transfer to a serving platter and serve hot.
