Grilled Idli Sandwich
Ingredients Needed:
Idli Batter - 1 cup

Mustard seeds, Urad dal - 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste

How to grill idli sandwich
For the Potato Masala
Wash and make the potatoes with knife on top, then mw for 6 -7 mins. Peel the skin once done, mash well.
Heat a non stick pan with oil, saute onions, green chilies, mustard seeds, curry leaves.
When the onions are done, add mashed potato, salt and turmeric powder. Mix well and simmer for 5 mins. Keep it aside.
For grilling the Idlis.
Grease the sandwich maker with oil. Switch to power mode. It will automatically turn to green when it becomes hot.
Pour few drops of oil on the bottom pan, using a ladle pour the idli batter on the bottom pan.
Scoop a spoonful of potato masala on to the center, cover with more batter.
Sprinkle with oil again and close the top. At this stage, the light on the sandwich maker will be yellow. Once it is cooked the light turns to green, open and check if it's done.
Since this is a non stick appliance, make sure you don't use any sharp objects to handle the cooked idlis.
Once the bottom is grilled well, turn to the other side and cook for couple of minutes.
When it's cooked on both sides, remove and serve with chutney of choice.
