Dictation turned recipe by chatgpt
A quick and delicious way to repurpose leftover baingan bharta and idlis into a flavorful, crispy stir-fry.
Ingredients:
- Leftover baingan bharta – about ⅓ portion of a large baingan bharta
- Day-old idlis – 2-3, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- Oil – 1-2 tbsp (for shallow frying)
Instructions:
- Prep the Idlis: Chop the day-old idlis into smaller, bite-sized pieces. They may feel dry and stiff, but that helps them crisp up well.
- Shallow Fry the Idlis: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the idli pieces and cook, turning occasionally, until they develop a golden-brown crispy crust on all sides.
- Add the Bharta: Once the idlis are crisp, add the leftover baingan bharta to the pan. Stir well to coat the idli pieces in the smoky, spiced bharta.
- Cook & Combine: Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Enjoy hot as a snack or light meal.
This dish has the perfect balance of crispy idli texture and the rich, smoky flavors of baingan bharta.
