    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 - ½ 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.

      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.

      @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.

      I heard a couple of guys talking about this in the New York subway so I looked it up online and found your page. Thanks. I thought I was right and you confirmed my thoughts. Thanks for the work you've put into this. I'd love to save this and share with my friends.
