Vegetable Idli

Vegetable Idli is a very common recipe. Only variation made here is adding chopped vegetables in the batter, which will enhance the taste of our regular Idli.

The vegetables I have used are uncooked, however, you may saute the vegetables in oil before adding it to the batter. Further, ingredients like grated coconut, mushrooms, green-peas could also be added to this recipe. Further, chutney ingredients like ginger-garlic paste, mint leaves etc. could also be added to make it more spicy.
