Are you bored of having the same idli again and again. Then why not try this recipe which are stuffed with some spicy vegetables which makes you happy in every bite…If your kids don’t like to have idlis. i am damn sure that they will love this one. You can use any of your favorite vegetables in this. I served this with my mum’s simple tomato chutney. These are healthy since they are stuffed with lots of vegetables.
Ingredients:
Idli Batter as needed (Click here for Recipe)
For Stuffing:
Onion – 1 finely chopped
Carrot – 1 grated
Beans – 10 chopped finely
Capsicum – 1/2 chopped finely
Green Chilli – 1 chopped finely
Chilli powder – 1 tsp
Coriander powder / Malli podi- 1 tblspn
Turmeric powder / Manjal podi- 1 tsp
Salt to taste
For Tempering:
Oil- 1 tblspn
Mustard seeds / Kaduku – 1 tsp
Channa dal / Kadala paruppu- 1 tsp
Urad dal / Ulundu Paruppu – 1 tsp
Curry leaves – 1 spring
Method:
Start by making the filling. Heat oil in a kadai. Add all the tempering ingrediants and sauté for a min.
Add in onions and green chilli and mix well. Cook for 2 mins.
Add in chilli, coriander,salt and turmeric powder and mix well. Add in all the vegetables and sauté for 5 mins.
Pour a splash of water and mix well. Cover the pan and let it cook for 10 mins. Filling is done.
Now take your idli plates and grease it. Spoon a tblspn of batter in the bottom and spoon a tblspn of this vegetable mixture on top. Now spoon a tblspn of batter again on top. Make sure that everything is totally covered.
Put this in the idli stand and let it steam for 15 mins.
Invert it on the plate and serve with chutney.

Wow that's a great idea… The idli just got more nutritious.

Love the fillings inside! Enjoy your weekend, Aarthi! U may like to chk out my Happy Call Recipe: Fluffy Minced Pork Omelette too 🙂
Very innovative and healthy idea. BTW Aarthi, is that a muslin cloth on which you have poured the idli batter or some use and throw away stuff; do let me know this, I usually grease the moulds but sometimes idlies stick to it…thanks dear for the lovely share.

I love ur site its totally addictive.I love ur dosas.Could u please show how to make mysore masala dosa with beetroot.
Wow this is such a nice idea…..healthy and tasty at the same time.
Filling in more ways than one!
@Nisa Homey We don't have a non stick idli stand..So amma uses a traditional idli cooker..The cloth is a clean white cloth which she uses only for idlis..You could use muslin cloth too..it is not use & throw cloth.Using cloth for making idli prevent the idli from sticking to the pan.
@Anonymousthanks for informing that..Recipe updated..
