I bet you’re a little taken aback by the name of this recipe, just like I was the first time my Mom made the Bread Idli recipe for me. I couldn’t help but ask her, “Where’s the bread?” But let me tell you, this unique Bread Idli recipe turned out to be an absolute flavor sensation!
I still vividly remember the day I requested my Mom to whip up something yummy and different for me. Being the resourceful Indian Mom that she is, she cleverly utilized the ingredients we had at home, including some leftover veggies, curd, and bread from the fridge. The result? A brand new dish that exceeded all expectations! Today, I’m excited to share this game-changing Bread Idli recipe with you. Get ready to impress your little ones with these delectable Bread Idlis that they’ll simply adore!
Healthy Bread Idli Recipe for Toddlers
Ingredients:
- Bread – 2 slices, cut into circles
- Potatoes – 2, boiled, peeled and mashed
- Hung Curd – 1 bowl
- Salt to taste
- Oil – 2-3 spoons to fry
Method:
1. Mix spices of your choice into the mashed potato. I prefer ½ onion, a little salt and very little red chilli powder. Spread the potato mixture on one side of the bread slices.
2. Heat a tava or a non-stick griddle with a spoon of oil. Place the bread slice on it, with the potato mixture face down on the oil.
3. Add a little salt to the hung curd and spread it over the bread slice on the pan. Make sure all the sides are covered with curd.
4. When the bread slice is completely covered with curd, lid the pan, ensuring that the lid does not touch the curd. Keep the flame low.
5. Take the lid off after a minute. By this time, the curd will have settled down uniformly all over the bread slice, indicating that the idli is ready. Use a broad spatula to lift it from the pan to make sure it doesn’t break. Serve with tomato sauce.
This is a very quick dish and perfect for busy Moms to make when kids suddenly announce that they’re hungry. I opt for this since my daughter is just 20 months old and I want to give her fresh food as far as possible. I usually boil the potatoes in the morning and refrigerate it without peeling. This helps me make a variety of snacks within no time at all. The best part of this dish is that you can use any vegetable mixture as they’ll be hidden and your little picky eaters won’t bother pulling them out!

Dear you can keep boiled potatoes for a day or two. Unless you are tied up with work, its best to feed fresh foods to little ones.
