VEGETABLE IDLY


Idly is one of the healthiest breakfasts, very simple to make. This is also the breakfast which many don’t like. Making idlys tasty and interesting with a simple variation with veggies of your choice can be a healthy breakfast for kids. These Tempting soft fluffy and colorful idlys can make every one want more. Try out this best tasting recipe and I am sure every one in you family will enjoy.      
INGREDIENTS
  • Idly batter                           2 cups
  • Vegetables of you choice    1 cup
  • Oil/ghee                               to grease the idly plates

PROCEDURE
Cut the vegetables of your choice into bite size pieces. Here I used potatoes, carrots, capsicum. You can also used peas, cabbage, beans, cauliflower, coriander etc.
 Now grease the idly plates with some oil or ghee. Pour a spoonful of batter in each plate and top the batter with a layer of veggies.

Now steam the idlys in a cooker for about 7-8 minutes.  Let the idlys cool for a couple of minutes and then remove them into a plate. Serve with ghee, chutney or sambar. 
TIPS
  • All the veggies cook well if they are finely cut. If you feel that they cannot be cooked mix the veggies in the batter and use the batter.
  • Alternatively add some batter in the plates, top it with veggies and then cover it with some more batter. This way you can have the veggies in the middle of the idlys.
  • Add some masala powder or curry powder to enhance the taste.
