Spinach Idlis

(from Nandini’s recipe box)

Categories: Idli

Ingredients

  • Same procedure except
  • You use 1 pack of frozen spinach (or 250 gms of fresh spinach)
  • Cook or thaw in microwave
  • Grind in blender using appropriate amount of water to grind Idlis
  • Use this blended spinach in place of water and allow to ferment overnight
  • NOTE: this blend takes a little longer than regular idlis - i am guess the iron in the spinach inteferes slightly with the fermenting process
  • I made idlis and dosais - According to my little on :Oscar idlis and Oscar dosais - (Oscar as in the Sesame Street character -Oscar the Grouch ;)
  • Carrot Rava Idlis
  • Take 2 fresh carrots. peel them and snap them into smaller sticks. Add 2 cups of yogurt/thick buttermilk and blend very finely
  • I just added the amount of rava that I needed until I reached the correct consistency
  • Thadka with curry leaves, 1 spoon of ghee and mustard seeds (chillies optional) and mix in with the batter. Add the salt and set aside for about an hour
  • Then make them like you do regular idlis
  • Enjoy Y'all brought to you with love and national pride :)) Huamra Indian Mahaan!
