- Prepare initially by pouring your idli batter in a large vessel.
- Now take a pan and heat some oil. After the oil heats up, add mustard seeds, followed by cumin seeds, curry leaves, and chopped ginger. Sauté them well till everything gets cooked properly, and an aroma is released.
- Take a clean bowl. Add yogurt, spinach puree, and salt. Add water to adjust the consistency if the mixture is too thick.
- To the yogurt mix, add the prepared batter and mix well till everything combines properly and the batter is smooth. Keep this bowl aside and let the mixture rest for 15 minutes. Make sure that the consistency of this batter is like rice idli or pancake batter.
- After the batter has been rested well, add baking soda to it and incorporate it properly.
- Grease the idli pan well with some oil.
- Add grated cashew nuts and carrots at the bottom (Optional).
- Now, pour a ladle full of the batter in the greased tray and use a steamer to steam cook for about 8-10 minutes.
- After a while, insert a toothpick in the idlis to ensure that they are cooked properly. The inserted toothpick should come out clean.
Now your idlis are ready. Serve these delicious idlis hot along with chutney or any other gravy of your choice.
