IDLY BURGER...sounds interesting na ! Actually it's a fusion food. Kids usually dont wana eat idly, dosas. & they love to eat burger any time. But burger buns are not that healthy. So, i substituted them with idlies :P . Patties are readily available in markets now a days. But i made it at home & followed my own recipe & it tasted good too. First thought will not add cornflour to the patty dough , But while frying everything got seperated. & rava went bottom of the kadai. Then added cornflour to the patty dough & dipped the patty in the cornflour paste too & it came out nicely. But it looks like more roasted, actual fact is all coz of my previous disaster. The rava which went bottom of the pan coated with other patties too. So, please don't go by looks, prepare it & just enjoy the taste.
